Here are two videos and some photos of this rehearsal. They had a setup of two Tagtools and my brother Maki joined Frances with the drawings occasionally:

After that, Frances and Dima invited Supra+ to join them at the Hackney WickED Festival in London, which took place this August. Frances wrote on her blog:

This was our second year at the Hackney WickED Festival and, as last year, we planned two evenings of live Tagtool drawing, making the projections from the roof terrace of Liquid Studios. This year, however, we invited a group of artist friends from Germany and Austria, as well as some old friends from London, to exhibit work at the studios and perform with us. So – everyone was ready to get together and have a good time!

Unfortunately there is no good documentation of this performance at the WickED Festival, but there is a video of a gig they did a day before at the The Victory Pub, Dalston:

Anyway, here are two photos of the setup at the WickED festival:

Bauchklang – the “vocal groove project” formed 1996 around the frontman and leadsinger Andreas Fraenzel out of a musical-production “Jesus Christ Superstar” which he and Alex Boeck participated in. They create their sound (Hip Hop, Reggae, Trance, Folk, Ethno, Drum’n'Bass, Africanism and Ambient) without the help of any instruments – just with the power of their voices.

Dieter Puntigam joined their performance at the Festspielhaus St.Pölten 2011 alongside of Marie Daulne. She is the founder and lead singer of the music group Zap Mama whose second album, Adventures in Afropea 1, “became 1993′s best-selling world music album and established Zap Mama as an international concert sensation.

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. He graduated from the School of Fine Arts at Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina. He has worked as an independent animator for MTV, Nickelodeon, Fox Channel and Once TV.

His work has been published in several specialized anthologies: Illustration Now!, Ilustration Now Portraits and Latin American Graphic Design (Taschen); Illusive, Pictoplasma, Los Logos series, Latino, Play Loud, (Die Gestalten Verlag).

Last year he started using the Tagtool; since then he has become one of the most active performers on his continent. One of his projects is called “Gallo Negro” (Black Rooster) – It´s a music band that takes the psychedelic sound of Peruvian cumbia of the 70′s, fusing it with an attitude of garage. Farfisa organs, fuzz guitars, guiro and inseparable are the main ingredients of this lysergic cumbia group accompanied by Dr. Alderete´s live performance on the Tagtool.

The band has been touring latin america and has played in locations like Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City.

Recently he delivered a speech at the TMDG convention – it`s the most important graphic design event in Latin America, held annually since 2002. Jorge was drawing live in front of a huge audience, but see for yourself – now the spot is on – Dr. Alderete and his flying skulls.

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.

The ensemble DESTAN fuses musical improvisation, performative drawing and urban dance. Communication from individual action, structure out of spontaneity.

Urban dance: Kadir Memis “Amigo”
Trumpet: Ritsche Koch
Drums: Christian Marien
Tagtool: Thomas Bratzke, Markus Dorninger

Then we set off with the Red Bull Volvo to do some projector bombing on the street – and this was really great fun!

The photos below were taken from our first stop – outside Kino OkO.

The gable end of this block of flats made a brilliant ‘canvas’ for drawing and the on-board sound system in the Red Bull car soon attracted a big crowd.

Our next stop was in Dlouha outside Roxy/Nod, a very popular club and gallery in the centre of Prague.

Despite the narrowness of the street and bright lighting Kuba managed to angle the projector to make a huge drawing area for me on the front of the building next to the club. A big crowd soon gathered on the street, with lots of people taking photos. My new, beautiful Tagtoool All-in-one performed perfectly and was ideal for working on the street! Dima set it up and dismantled it very quickly – and in between managed to take these photos as well.

Together we “are linked by the moving line of drawing itself “- Deanna Petheridge, The primacy of drawing (2010)

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. This work introduces video projections as an inclusive device. The drawings will be embellished through the use of Tagtool, an electronic drawing device discovered during the Masters research project. A work of art that makes use of all or many art forms to create a complete artwork can be referred to by the term Gesamtkunstwerk. I review the notion of Gesamtkunstwerk in relation to this performance event.
