Tomorrow (05/07/08) at 2 pm, Lucky Dragons and a few cohorts are playing in the East River Amphitheater (Cherry St. @ FDR Drive). Lucky Dragons is a one man, two laptop and plastic recorder operation with a serious emphasis on audience participation and creating interactive audio applications. It’s one of the few laptop projects out there that sounds human and organic.

Lucky Dragons’ shows tend to culminate in everyone sitting around in a circle holding hands while connected by electrically conductive cables, which sounds like a painful process, but in reality means you are just holding a mod’ed guitar cable. Luke Fishbeck, aka Lucky Dragons, built a Max/MSP interface called Make A Baby that generates music based on the electrical energy and conductivity of the human body.

So, drag your feet on the carpet and head over to see something truly mind blowing. If the music isn’t your thing, you’ll at least have an excuse to hold hands with the beautiful person sitting next to you.
