Great evening. Everyone delivered.
UMPIO proved again that he's one of the greatest live performers within noise, and everyone everywhere should book him immediately.
Just a minimal set-up of his self-built devices and metal objects, a few effects used in an open-minded way - and the result was simply amazing. "Simple" (as in not too many channels on at the same time) and rough junk sound blasting through a mic'd amplifier, with lots of variation and utmost control of the gear. It's nice watching have a guy who's really content with being on stage and in full control of his gear. There was a bit of ad-hoc stage show, like suddenly dismantling the "table" on which he had some metal stuff, and which was mic'd throgh the effects (sounded and looked great), crawling around with the metal pieces while playing them, and couple of quite amusing moments when for example when he suddenly pressed mute on all gear, just to clear some thick phlegm from his throat, and after a second continued with the noise. Good job!
