Happy Monday! We hope you had an enjoyable weekend! Here’s a great news piece to start off your week. The film below was composed and animated by former student of Geoff Barker, Megan Van Den Maagdenberg. She is now a student at Vienna Music Institute, and she was invited for a wonderful opportunity to compose music based on the life of Viennese artist Heinz Frank.
Heinz Franks’s daughter, Lilli Breuer, invited some composers to write music based on Frank’s apartment, life and artwork as a musical installment to the museum. Megan was able to go in and see the apartment, take photos, make notes, and then compile all the information. After Frank died, they found about four boxes of additional art called Tagebuchs (day books) that had never been seen before. He did one painting per day, every day, for years. The artwork in the film below were copies of some of the original day books that Lilli scanned to Megan to use for her creative endeavors.
This is such an exciting project and we are so proud of Megan in all of her efforts. It is truly an exceptional example of digging into yourself and working on something that acknowledges music and the arts, bringing joy and happiness for everyone who watches.

Thank you, Megan, for sharing this with us! We are so grateful! Congratulations on this remarkable project. Click on the link to watch https://youtu.be/zmVgKxxO12U
