Delaney Davidson: Hellhound on My Trail

Delaney Davidson: Hellhound on My Trail

On 6 December 2017 Delaney Davidson performed the final show of his New Zealand Magic Lightbox tour at the Gallery to an enthralled audience. Blending live music and film, Arts Laureate Delaney gave us a glimpse of a forgotten time – dusty highways, old Europe, the ‘new world’ of the US and New Zealand as you’ve never seen it before. The Magic Lightbox walked a tightrope between narrative and abstract, with Delaney beginning to let go of traditional song form and starting to move further out into the sound landscape.
