MUSTONE LIVE @ 国民文化祭

We view live painting as entertainment.

Q:
You also do a lot of live painting. What is important to do it well and to what extend are your performances different to other live painting sessions?

A:
I view live painting as entertainment. The main aim of doing it is to make people happy who just paid money to see the performance. I watched various live painting events and found that most of them are only held for the painters' self-satisfaction. It still looks interesting for the audience in the beginning, but then they get bored as the performance drags on and on and so people often leave before the end. That's when I came up with the idea to do live painting along a story to keep the viewers interested. I try to evoke ups and downs by adopting my painting to the music and also invented a way of collaborating with another artist, who supports my drawing as I go along. While I paint on the canvas, he colors my paintings with a projection on top.

Q:
How? How can the other artist color what you just drew in that very minute and control the projection on your painting?

A:
He can view what I draw on his screen via a camera, then goes ahead and adds things, bits of color, shades etc using photoshop and projects that back on top. There are two very different forces involved in this live painting, the painting grows from two different sides and the reaction of someone else to my painting reflected in my painting makes it more interesting than a live painting usually turns out to be. This style is fully developed now and we took it further involving VJ elements and cooperating with people like HEARTBOMB. I've just been trying to make something that can keep the people interested until the last minute of the performance.
