MVTANT

This event took place on Saturday, March 19, 2022 at 12:50 AM UTC.

Venue: Hotel Vegas at Volstead “This is low culture, this is forever. The weak are god fearing and sinning is living.” MVTANT was conceived as a cassette tape industrial project: motorik lines pulse out of analog synthesizers, dreamy primitive digital workstations wash over the top, vhs samples of chains and screams are evoked from 12-bit machines, and then recorded to ree-to-reel and dumped to mono cassettes. In addition to classic post-punk, industrial and ebm artists, MVTANT is heavily influenced by horror and science fiction films, anime, literature, and graphic novels. The sound is both familiar and new, cacophonous and melodic, uncomfortable and pleasurable, like violent colors that a dingy vcr head spews in scanlines across a tube tv, painful to stare at, but astonishingly vivid and captivating.
