Beautiful venue, big crowd… The first coming in France of our norwegian avant-garde heroes was more than expected to say the least. No disappointment here, the show was totally great, starting with a Palpatine look-a-like Attila Csihar (AKA Void Of Voices) using a single mic and a few effects to summon his infamous satanic gospel. And what about this exquisite hungarian accent, uh?
“Ulver – The rest is silence”. Garm, Tore, Jorn, the new recruit Daniel O Sullivan and their musicians gave us a little bit more than an hour (did i mention the show was too short?) of beautiful, mysterious, tragic music with high-quality scenography (stunning visuals, neon tubes…). No room for improvisation here, everything is firmly in place, definitely not a rock n’ roll show fellas. But you can easily imagine (or not) the challenge to re-create such a music on stage, and Ulver did it without giving us the image of four guys hidden behind their laptops. Well done.
