Live Hazard Collective Illustrated Concert 1

 Here are some photographs of my 20mns set in collaboration with musician Masol/ DJ Got Soul .

Masol's music is very funky. You can listen to what she does here. Masol came accompanied on the night with her mum and quite a few fans! 

This particular illustrated concert was part of an ongoing research project I am doing with music professor Guy Harries.  Live Hazard collective is a crossdisciplinary collaboration between illustration and music.

Formed of the two core members musician Guy Harries and visual artist Valerie Pezeron (see us above!), it invites each year a few artists and musicians, singers, poets, DJs, rappers... to join the collective for a limited period of time in order to collaborate via the format of the illustrated concert.

The formula is simple; a stage is filled musicians and a visual artist who improvise in front of a live audience. The artist brings his painting and brushes, Ipad and stylus or collage, etc... and with the help of a visualiser, the results are projected behind the stage on a big screen.

The artist's drawing  materials are as important as the musicians' instruments, and an integral part of the stage set-up.
