art rock films by Tommy Becker

Author/Editor: Tommy Becker


CONTENTS

… a kaleidoscopic candy-colored cavalcade of speculative/pop-psychology and cathay tragicomic sing-a-long. Becker’s pieces sift through contemporary sites of existential malaise with indefatigable humor and a touch of world-weary wisdom. — Steve Polta, San Francisco Cinematheque

A self-described “poet trapped in a camcorder,” Tommy Becker‘s art rock films take a collagist approach to thematic investigation by combining original songwriting, spoken word, performance, costuming, animation, 16mm direct, glitch and in-computer design. Educational preludes, historical footage and thematic lyrics lend a documentary component to his work that balances meaning with personal, often humorous, poetic expression. Tape Number One: Side One provides lyrics and images to Becker’s “art rock films” 2013–2016.
