Musician’s Insights: Truth or Cliché?

Musicians know a lot of stories, legends and half-truths – and they love them. Between Rock’n’Rollers marauding in hotel rooms and die-hard rappers’ street gang activity, the second phase of the Power Of Music campaign focuses on these clichés (or are they truths?).

While the first phase of the campaign still had the primary goal of establishing the basic idea of ​​”The Power Of Music”, the new motifs were intended to reveal and make fun of the power mechanisms which exist in the music world. The tongue-in-cheek compositions of image and text played self-deprecatingly with music scene clichés, such as violent Death Metal-heads, roaring football fan choirs or fanatical fans.
