Mickey Hart on Dead & Company’s Staggering Sphere Run and His Vegas Art Exhibition: ‘The Stars Are Aligned for Us’
Mickey Hart, drummer for Dead and Company, talks about his painting exhibition in Vegas and why his 'Drums' segment is a Sphere residency highlight.
There are subwoofers embedded in the seats of Las Vegas’ Sphere, which is part of the reason why Mickey Hart ‘s nightly extended percussion segment, titled simply “Drums,” is one of the clear highlights of Dead & Company’s current 24-show residency at the venue. Hart has adopted the term “vibrational expressionism” for this visual artwork, although obviously it applies in some way to everything he does, not least of all to giving Sphere-goers an all-new understanding of what a bottom end can really be. It must be gratifying for you, when you get to hear people saying that the nightly “Drums”/”Space” segment that focuses on your percussion is a highlight of the Sphere show, and that your work is really augmented so much by what’s happening on the screens.
