In spite of mounting art-world credentials (including a rave in Artforum and a coveted slot at the past Whitney Biennial), Lucky Dragons still haven't been heralded in the mainstream music press. Chief composer Luke Fischbeck arranges snippets of field recordings, looped wind instruments, and gentle vocal hums into a sprightly mix that evokes the natural world within computer-based productions. In concert, the LA-based Fischbeck comes off as a warmhearted trickster — his recent performance piece Make a Baby is an inspired bit of utopian technology, with the audience shaping exquisite neon tones by forming human chains around conductive wires.
