Halleluwah! is planned as an homage to CAN – in memory of the band’s pioneering role in composition, sound, playing technique, and group dynamics.

Invited to exhibit are visual artists. The exhibition will comprise painting, drawing, videos, objects, and sound pieces that relate to the broad spectrum of the band’s manifestations and to the facets of the collective reception potential, including critical considerations of its being turned into a myth. Some works will respond to the covers of CAN albums, others will be investigations or continuations of sound into the present, while yet others will simply be hallucinatory bows before these great musicians.

CAN is spontaneity and well-calculated, well-proportioned success, the rejection of classical song arrangements, the integration of environmental sounds as part of the music, sound tinkering, the hypnotic power of repetition, the primitive and the artificial, searching and shaping.

You can now buy the official Halleluwah! catalogue with CD from here.
