BDM126: Mad Mozart in colour and a brief biography




CHARACTER BIO: “MAD” MOZART

Child prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in 1756 in Salzburg, Austria.  From the age of 9, his father would take the family on tours of Europe so Wolfgang could play for the nobility.  It is on one of those trips to Italy in 1771 that Mozart had an unfortunate run in with a bubble in the space/time continuum.  He spent a few hours in a 20th century doctor's waiting room watching music videos; he hasn't been quite right since.  Apart from the frustration of a surfeit of Diabetes Today and Girlfriend magazines in the reading rack, he was profoundly influenced by the possibilities of his new Muse, Electricity.  

Back home in his Alpha timeline, he and drinking buddy Ben Franklin work to harness lightning to power “Mad” Mozart's collection of instruments.  Here we see him cavorting with a mahogany and ivory portable spinaret, or "Key-Tar".  Always a flamboyant dresser, he's brought his style up a few notches by emulating his hero Jimi Hendrix.  His adoration climaxed with the ignition and subsequent explosion of a grand piano, worth several year’s wages at today's prices.  "Ach, mein struedel!" he'd say, or when things are going well, "Und now I am really feeling it in mein schnauzer panties."  

“Mad” Mozart has the typical teen fascination with technology, angst and rock ‘n’ roll.  He is currently attempting to recreate the music of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Van Halen, and the White Stripes in a concerto to be performed by albino castrati for the Pope.  We wish him well in his endeavour.
