Lucky Dragons


Lucky Dragons - Hawks and Sparrows

"Having recorded five albums as limited edition CD-Rs, Fischbeck now divides his time between touring and posting music on his interactive website. The ongoing Hawks and Sparrows (2003– ), originally released as CD-Rs individually packaged with “the first flowers of spring,” has evolved into a free-download project. Its eighteen tracks are based on field recordings taken at four antiwar gatherings from which he removed all language-based rhetoric, leaving processed samples of “pauses, whistles and yells, drums, sirens, helicopters, electric hums, boom boxes” and more. The unexpectedly musical results range from meditational, harmonic loops of sound to crackling distortion that recalls music played through blown speakers." - The Whitney Museum of Art



- This is a 5 minute documentary of Luke Fishbeck(Lucky Dragons) describing his project "Make A Baby", quite an interesting watch. "Make A Baby is the generic term for an ongoing series of experiments into the possibilities of using skin contact between performers as a means of transmitting and controlling data and creating a positive social environment."
