The Landscape of Guitar : Animated Painting Concert Experince
Guitars Take Flight around the World: From Sarasota to Barcelona
The locally living, internationally touring duo, Patchouli & Terra Guitarra are bringing their one-of-a kind art & music production The Landscape of Guitar back to the screen and stage of the
the newly reopened Glenrdige Performing Arts Center at Palmer Ranch on Friday, March 29.
The duo’s instrumental guitar project, Terra Guitarra is reviewed as “one of the top nuevo-flamenco groups in the world” by Zone Music Reporter. The duo has four top 5 internationally charting albums and in May 2018 Terra Guitarra’s Of Sea & Stars won the award for “Best Instrumental Album of the Year”.
Patchouli, their singer/songwriter project, is a Public Radio favorite featuring sparkling lead vocals, beautiful duets and award winning compositions. The Chicago Tribune says “inspires the human spirit”.
Their world class musicianship is gorgeously amplified by the accompanying lush visual movement of the new Animated Painting Concert Experience, The Landscape of Guitar.
25 years of touring and 22 albums, guitarist/Artist Bruce Hecksel and songwriter Julie Patchouli created this original concept using Hecksel’s Terra Guitarra® acrylic paintings of “guitar landscapes” where every element is a guitar shape, colorfully glittering like stained glass. The duo animated and composed the paintings to flow with the music performance seamlessly, producing a living vibrant backdrop.
In 2018 The Landscape of Guitar quite literally took flight around the world touring theaters in the US, Europe and China, which included art exhibitions on 3 continents of the original paintings used in the production. In 2019 they went on their 2nd tour to China and performed the show from coast to coast of the US.
In 2020 the pandemic canceled a year of the duo’s scheduled theater tour around the country including a performance at GPAC. They like many bands trying to survive, moved to livestreaming shows, released their “pandemic album” Nothing But Heart and played a handful of outdoor shows. As 2021 came they were even able to bring The Landscape of Guitar outdoors to select amphitheaters.
4 years after their scheduled show at GPAC they are back and they are taking their audiences with them in their musical and artistic journey through The Landscape of Guitar.
One will travel from their seat in Sarasota to Barcelona, Stonehenge and other worlds where mermaids dive and faeries fly through the guitar constellations of the Milky Way. Soar over guitar canyons to fiery Spanish guitar pieces, like “Malaguena”. Walk guitar labyrinths in the guitar sunset through sweet vocal harmonies. Float on guitar clouds to the sound of Native American flutes and trek to the peaks of the guitar mountains with epic folk rock anthems.
Experience the Spirit of the '60's & '70's, the romance of the Spanish guitar, and the colors of Van Gogh. at the Glenridge Performing Arts Center on March 29th.
