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.

 After months of hard work, the Live Hazard Collective illustrated concert and private view of its Sanctuaries exhibition took place on the 6th of this month. Our partner the Association of Illustrators were there on the night of the launch. They took pictures, they enjoyed the illustrated concert and blogged about it.
