Tagtool

Tagtool session with Bauchklang and friends at the Festspielhaus St.Pölten in December 2011.

Cultural skeptics like to think art and music do not mix ‘and never the twain shall meet’. Well, Kellie O’Dempsey from Australia is an artist who is out there to prove them wrong.

Feel free to join the open stage for Singer/Songwriter @ MOJO Club (Harz 9) in Halle, Germany. It´s happening every 2nd thursday every month. Live Music, live drawing, live animation!

Dr. Alderete is a pop illustrator who uses trash culture, 50′s science fiction films, wrestling and surf music imagery in his psychotronic illustrations, animations and comics. Last year he started using the Tagtool; since then he has become one of the most active performers on his continent.

Ramadan is both a time of inner cleansing and of opening yourself to the community – the inside meets the outside. “SEYAHAT – A Journey” follows this path in three parts. Video of a performance from August 20th 2010 by the ensemble DESTAN @ Pergamonmuseum – Museum for Islamic Art, Berlin

The evening began on the roof terrace at DOX – a wonderful location for Tagtooling! As I began to draws the rain stopped, the live music was great and a big audience came to see the performance.

This work is ongoing and is as open-ended as a drawn line is long. This final improvised performance in this Masters project was designed from elements harvested as knowledge from the previous performances by Kellie O’Dempsey.

On hand for the sessions was the entire OMA international family along with a hand full of musicians. There was lots of cooking and chatting and drinking, and more importantly TagTool.
