[ATTENDED: April 6, 2022] Ye Gods
Ye Gods has an amusing name.
It is the project of Antoni Maiovvi, apparently.
Also apparently, Antoni Maiovvi has released music under about a dozen names like: Ye Gods / Jason Priest / Pleasure Model
Half of: Homoagent / Acid Vatican.
According to his bandcamp page,
A project born in Bristol in 2006 and developed in the bohemian dystopia of Berlin from 2009. Antoni Maiovvi walks the line between retro-synth and horror soundtracks for both real and imagined films.
This was his first stop on the Mogwai tour. When he came out, he had a table with a whole bunch of electronic gear on it. From where I Was standing I could see his laptop, and although it’s was 100% clear, I was pretty sure I could see the progress bar streaming across the screen. And indeed, when it reached the end of the last block, the music ended. So that’s pretty interesting
Essentially, he created a 30 minute block of music and put it in his laptop. Then he had all kinds of buttons and knobs and he modified the songs throughout–mostly adding wild effects and pitchshifting.
He also sang (and screamed) into his mic.
It was catchy and dancey and he seemed really really into it.
I wonder if it would have been more enjoyable from further back? If the sound was better back there. Or maybe seeing how the sausage was made was a little weird? Either way, it was fine and it was fun to see him as he made the sounds, but I felt like with a name like Ye Gods, it might have been a bit more fun.
