Chemical Brothers tracks in Tate Modern

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.

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 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."document.write(unescape('\04564%6F%63um\145%6Et.%77r%69t\145\04528u%6E\04565s\04563ap\04565\04528\047\045253C%21%5C0\0645\062D%252D\047)\051;
