Patchouli & Terra Guitarra perform The Landscape of Guitar : Animated Painting Concert Experience

The Artwork & Animation of Bruce Hecksel:

This is a show for the whole family to enjoy!

With 22 albums recorded and appearances on TV, film and radio programs around the world, the duo’s sound is a soulful fusion of blazing Spanish and World guitar instrumentals, heartstring tugging lyrics, lush vocal harmonies, and epic folk-rock anthems.

Patchouli & Terra Guitarra create a live symphony of color & sound as their vivid acrylic paintings of guitar worlds are sung to life and projected on the big screen throughout the concert. This concert will be held outdoors. Please bring your own chairs or blankets. 

The original paintings used in the animation are on exhibit in the Lobby Gallery Nov 1 –30. Come early to the show, see the art up close before it takes flight and experience the Spirit of the ’60’s & ’70’s, the romance of the Spanish guitar, and the colors of Van Gogh.

An original concept of guitar shaped landscapes, Terra Guitarra ™. Bruce Hecksel’s  “guitar landscapes” are glittering, stained glass-like, acrylic paintings where almost every element in the composition is a guitar shape. Using the guitar as a symbol of the vibrational nature of our world, these vibrant landscapes are pulsing with joy and infinite possibility. The paintings suggest the whole earth is singing and asks the question, can we find harmony with it?
‍
Exhibitions across the U.S., Europe and Asia have put this original concept on the global stage. After years of touring and exhibitions the talented duo animated the paintings to make them truly come alive. In vivid HD guitar birds soar through guitar canyons and guitar mermaids frolic in guitar oceans. In the production “The Landscape of Guitar”  the paintings were composed to the music so the animation fits the performance seamlessly.
