"There once was this musical fellow/ Who’s favorite color was yellow/He could play a sonata/While he ate a tomato/And this fellow he really could bellow." (Emmett Williams).

The idea to found gelbe MUSIK came to Ursula Block while establishing a collection of music recordings in the framework of the exhibition Für Augen und Ohren (For Eyes and Ears) at Akademie der Künste, Berlin 1980.
