Listeners who have come in contact with Guido Möbius music through his CDs are in for surprise when they attend one of the Berlin-based musician’s gigs. Möbius makes no attempt to translate the sound of his albums into live performance. With the help of no more than his guitar, a trumpet and a whole battery of serially connected effects, he creates a rather noisy and unique live version of his music.

With a twinkle in his eye, he creates coarse funk or piles up driving beats until they become walls of sounds. In these performances, Möbius’ skill for melodies and his soft spot for poly-rhythms come to the fore. Tightly organized arrangements alternate with passages of excessive improvisation. Every step in the creation of this music is public: When Möbius activates one of his effect pedals, the audience are a witness to this process. The creation of his music is nothing which is mysteriously conceived behind laptop screens. Möbius‘ music happens before his audiences‘ very eyes (and ears). This accounts for a large part of the fascination of his performances. The other (and by far greater part) results from the twist and turns his music takes and which never fails to surprise the audience. And last not least, the concerts of this one-man-band are pervaded by a delightful sense of humour.
