#Dordeduh from Romania brought a live painter on stage, and we could enjoy his abstract art creation during the entire show.

The screen at the back shows as start of a flurry of gold-paint strokes

Closer-up with bass player, painter and guitarist.
The painting on the screen seems to give some hints of a moon.

Dordeduh on stage
The painting seems to have been filled in entirely with various additional colorings of red, orange, white. There is a dark region on the top left, and a half-moon sphere, having blue tentacles coming out. There’s a dark swirl in the middle of the drawing

Close-up with the guitarist/vocalist, drummer, guitarist. The abstract painting is almost finished and I have no idea what it would be…

The weekend of the year I can always look forward to #ProgPowerEurope

Pity I could only make it for one day, but nevertheless, it’s been a joy to see everyone again.

Band highlights for me were Chaosbay (energetic mix of prog, core, some poppy tunes) but other worthy nominations go to Wilderun (loved their songs although sometimes a bit too stretched), Dordeduh (live painter), Hackberry (instrumental-only is hard, but the music was diverse enough)

Definitely see you again next year!

Listening to #Chaosbay from Berlin at #ProgPowerEurope .
Very heavy, proggy, poppy tunes.
