Animations, Videos, Timelapses - Drawings

Lucky Dragons make experimental music, but they are also facilitators for the collective music experience, making music and visuals tactile, celebratory, enjoyable, intriguing, interactive and fun.

No music created in one evening is ever the same as the next. You will likely walk away from one of these events feeling a wholesome sense of elation, tingling energy and more than just a feeling that you have connected physically and creatively (and perhaps also rather joyously) with other people, music and art.

This is a time-lapse of the iPad drawing I did of their live performance, stroke by digital brushstroke. This may be a sign of things to come.

Catchup - Mogwai and RM Hubbert, Stockholm

RM HUBBERT

One man and his accoustic guitar, speaking with a Weegie accent in between intricately beautiful flamenco based instrumentals before the anticipated noise onslaught of Mogwai, captivates and beguiles the Stockholm audience. Known for their lack of emotion, my Swedish chap remarks in admiration at how Hubbert moves them to applause his candid intimations on his chronic depression and the tragic incidents which fuel his music. No mean feat from a very warm, humble, highly talented and deserving chap.

Mogwai, featuring the many pedals and various stances/trainers of Stuart Braithwaite, as well as two appearances of Dominic Aitchison and 1 and a half of Barry Burns :)

There is little room for error from a Mogwai set so it was a tickle to witness somebody's pedal having a moment. Cue Stuart - 'Mass Hypnosis - The last 30 seconds did not take place - the future starts from 'now''.

I adore 'flaws'. Makes me engage with live performances by such highly creative humans much more. Neither do I see them as 'flaws' more as 'chance' or 'opportunity'.

This is possibly one of my favourite belongings, nay 'gifts' this year.

The colour, statement and subject hold a lot of significance for me.

I normally am termed 'photo' instead of 'band artist'. Bliss.

It is now in pride of place on my iPad cover.

Like I mentioned before, I will be spending a lot of time in Stockholm for the foreseeable future, so it was a real pleasure to see/hear, draw and meet Mogwai and RM Hubbert playing a sold out show. They played at the very nice Debaser Medis - great place, great sound, great location.

Lloyd Cole, Broken Record, Sodra Teatern, Mosebacke, Stockholm

Lloyd Cole and his 2 accomplished compadres.

Lloyd Cole - Detail

It was a brilliant concert in a perfect venue, so many classics as well as songs from the new album, great audience and the sound was excellent. Great to draw a legend. Top night.

Doubt anyone will appreciate how difficult it was to draw though! It was on an iPad, but the calibration of the pen was out by about 1.5 centimetres in quite an off kilter way. This made drawing SUPER tricky. Wonder if anyone will appreciate how sodding tricky it was. Still pleased with the result though :) A bad workman blames his tools...

Black Heart Procession - Beautiful!

Debaser Slussen. Tonight May 1st 2010. Black Heart Procession play their first gig of 28 gigs in 29 days. Magnificent stuff albeit with a couple of bum notes from a couple of entities, but altogether brilliant. Pall has a voice like freshly burnt creme brulee, and Tobias is impeccable on his array of instruments. He also likes Caol Ila 18 year and Lagavulin 16 year. And Balvenie. And Oban.

Check out the Black Heart Procession if you haven't already.
