Lucy (Stroboscopic Artefacts) - Live Concert Feat. Jon Jacobs and Ignazio Mortellaro

LUCY - LIVE CONCERT

feat. Jon Jacobs
Scenography and Visuals by Ignazio Mortellaro

The new live concert from Lucy presents material from his Self-Mythology LP, along with improvisational expansions of that same material, and promises to be a total experience from stylistic masters working with a methodology of “precision and exploration”. Combining the deft electronic manoeuvres and percussive flourishes of Lucy, the hyper-real scenography of Ignazio Mortellaro (a.k.a. Oblivious Artefacts) and Jon Jacobs’ entrancing contributions of improvised vocalisation, flute and additional percussion, these events will be geared towards audiences with a thirst for genuine communion with the performers. With an emphasis on gradual, seductive emergence rather than instant gratification, the artists’ approach will be directed at creating a complex invocational atmosphere, rather than offering the standard ‘laptops and video projections’ setup. There will, in fact, be no computers involved in the musical performance. For these shows, the trio of performers will be situated within a “vision chamber,” having transparent projection screens both in front of and behind their performance stations, allowing a perception of overlapping realities to take hold within the audience. This unique visual presentation will be very much in keeping with the theme of Lucy’s new autobiographical opus, which demonstrates the way in which individuals make their own contributions to universal folklore even as they draw from the pool of eternally recurring archetypes. For audiences who wish to experience the excitement that can occur during these fusions of the esoteric and exoteric, these performances are not to be missed.
