HAND IN HAND IN THE HAND OF THE MOON BILLIE DAVIES An homage to Serge Vandercam (Copenhagen, Denmark, 1924 - Wavre, Belgium, March 10, 2005). A symphony inspired by paintings by Serge Vandercam and drums by Billie Davies (Brugge, Belgium, 1955). The painter influenced by the drummer and the drummer influenced by the painter over a period of three days of the full moon. A collaborative work, conceived in 1995 resulting 20 years later in a series of 8 paintings and a jazz symphony of 8 musical movements. "You would have loved where I was at, Serge, between the Rocks, the Dirt, the Coyotes, the Eagles, the Mountain Lions, the Road Runners, the Rattle Snakes. You would have loved where I am at, Serge, in the heat of New Orleans with the Banana trees, the Gators, the Water Moccasins, the Egrets, the Hawks, the Pelicans and the Swamps, the Bayous and the Music and the Sun and the Moon and the Birds. Serge, this Music has been made with You in mind... You, Me, then, Painting and Drums, and now Music inspired by these paintings ... a Symphony to You and to Thalia. A symphony to the Magic in fine Art A symphony to Nature. A symphony to the Bird with the Wish that People listen to Mother Nature People listen to the Bird." Billie Davies One has to give that justice to art, That it brings proof that nothing functions. It establishes that there is no use, Not for the universe, Not for religion. It's flagrant uselessness makes one discover that something, Of which no-one gave much thought, Suddenly becomes essential. (Francois Jaqmin. Translated from French by Billie Davies.)
