It may not be music to everyone's ears - but Tate Modern has asked acts like The Chemical Brothers to create tracks inspired by works of art.



Graham Coxon and Estelle are also among the musicians taking part in the project.



Starting from tomorrow, visitors will be able to hear their creations on a listening post next to the works that inspired them, with each new track available every month.



The Chemical Brothers launched the project today with a new piece of music, The Rock Drill, inspired by Jacob Epstein's Torso in Metal from The Rock Drill (1913-14).



Other acts taking part include The Long Blondes, Klaxons, Roll Deep and Union of Knives.



The Chemical Brothers said: "We chose to write music for The Rock Drill as it seemed so dynamic, powerful and modern - it just seemed so techno - we could imagine music as soon as we saw it.



"The sculpture has a feeling of movement. We wanted to capture the latent feeling of force that the figure has.



"Having heard music in art galleries before that is largely ambient, we wanted to make something rhythmic and structured that connected to the piece."



Tate media director Will Gompertz said: "Tate Tracks highlights just how powerful the relationship between music and art can be and we're delighted to work with so many major musicians.



"Each act has responded distinctly to the artwork chosen and the results are inspirational."

Good one griffin and Tyler! Now we just have to hear the track. 8)







The first group includes Jacob Epstein's Torso in Metal from the Rock Drill 1913-16. This work marks the triumph of Vorticist sculpture. Epstein originally intended to amalgamate the man-made machinery of an actual drill with his sculpted form. Epstein explained: 'I lost my interest in machinery and discarded the drill. I cast in metal only the upper part of the figure'. Years later, Epstein considered Rock Drill to be 'a thing prophetic of much of the great war and as such within the experience of nearly all', which is tantamount to admitting that the holocaust had caused him to reconsider the true meaning of his iron instrument. 'I remember Epstein saying that he abandoned the drill because he hadn't made it himself, it was just a machine', recalled his widow. 'Here is the armed sinister figure of today and tomorrow', Epstein wrote later, and he made his own feelings clear when he explained that Rock Drill possesses 'no humanity, only that terrible Frankenstein's mask we have made ourselves into'.

Tate Modern invited The Chemical Brothers to walk around the gallery and find a work of art that would inspire them to write a track.



It was Jacob Epstein's Torso in Metal from 'The Rock Drill' that grabbed their attention. It's a menacing sculpture made out of bronze. The Chemical Brothers said that they wanted to 'capture the latent feeling of force that the figure has'. The result is their latest track, The Rock Drill.



We'd love to play you a little bit but we can't. At the moment, the only place you can hear it is at Tate Modern next to the sculpture.



From 1 October, you'll also be able to hear the track here online.
