THE YOUNG GODS PLAY WOODSTOCK

For the 2005 edition of the « Fête de la Musique » (“Music Feast”), the town of Geneva asked The Young Gods to choose a film and to create a soundtrack for it, to be played live as the film is projected on a big outdoor screen.

The band was quick to pick « Woodstock » in a version rearranged for the occasion. This choice may seem surprising. But Woodstock is one of the most famous music feasts of all times, and it occurred at a key moment for rock music. Psychedelic influences were bringing down barriers between genres and mixing them together. The film shows this happening in real time, as musical currents vie for space on the stage. The event was then broadcast around the world via different media in a way that prefigured today’s globalization of culture.

Woodstock now stands as the fossilized “big bang” of rock music. To what extent does it still resonate in today’s soundscape? The Young Gods will attempt to grasp that resonance, amplify it and tune it to their sounds and machines. To do this, they will bar no holds, from faithful cover versions to complete re-readings, from time speed-ups to sand blasting.

Woodstock is also a film that describes a world and a spirit. On the narrative sequences, the Young Gods’ music will provide sonic illustration, and become film music linking the historical event to our current musical culture.

In the 1990s, some organizers attempted unsuccessfully to recreate a Woodstock Festival, and to bring back a long-gone spirit. Here, The Young Gods propose the original event’s true fire, as relayed by the live images shot in 1969, which they will fuel with their explosive electronic musicianship.
