Idgy Dean and DMC at the House of Yes in Brooklyn, NY
This is a continuation my previous post about the first part of this evening in Brooklyn.
Our friend Idgy Dean was having a launch party for her new collaboration with Run DMC. The most obvious observations about this evening are Idgy Dean's ability to collaborate and her loyalty to her artist friends and community. | |
Her use/collaboration of the talents of Hattie Chamberlin (the harpist), Tiffany Topol (and her ukelele), Wasa Bibi and James Benjamin (DJs), BodyArt by Tash, Raquel Rosario (the tarot card reader), Angela Jones (the tintype photographer) and Fritz Cook (musician) made for an exciting and eclectic evening.
Her music demonstrates a wonderful blend of intellectual, artistic, and almost nerdy abilities. The looping and the layering of rhythm, bass, lead, and melody tracks make for long dance-worthy compositions. As a non-dancer, the live performance pieces strike me as a bit long, but no one else seems to worry about that :-)
The production value of the concert was much more than I expected. The incense, the projections, the dancers, and the choreography all helped to make this a truly multi-sensory experience.
