This is a live recording from a recent collaboration with visual artist AJ Vanderelli from April 2, 2021. A very special evening at her amazing gallery. The Vanderelli Room.

AJ & I have joined forces in art shows many times over the years, however this was the first collaboration she and I have done together in over 2 years. It was also our first venture into performing public post-Covid.
We sold safe distanced limited table-set seating and performed two full 90 minute sets. This is the second performance of two extensive sets. Myself on Mellotron & Moog and AJ inside a 20ft clear plastic room, painting from the inside out. It was filled with evocation and a phantasmagoria of emotions and metaphysical impressions. Pure, unfiltered, instant- composition. I'm very proud to share these recordings with you. AJ and I are grateful to be a part of your living space.

Love to All,
Lisa Bella Donna / April 2021
