The Festival closing party harnesses all of the human energy of the past 10 days. Lucky Dragons are Los Angeles-based artists Luke Fischbeck and Sarah Rara, most famous for creating live performances where music is produced by human touch. People connect together to build up sounds until the whole room is one huge fragile and powerful network. Positively smacking of homebuilt kinetic energy, Lucky Dragons blur the lines between the digital and the handspun. Amidst dozens of psychedelic rhythms there are tropical keyboard drones, recorder ditties, whistles, delay pedal-induced hypnosis and weird melodies. The name Lucky Dragons is borrowed from a Japanese fishing boat caught in the fallout of the atomic bomb test at Bikini Atoll.
