About the artist:
Reon Moebius is a self taught multi-instrumentalist and co-founder of the independent internet record label Argali Records, which he co-operates with Nathan James Carter since 2009. As a transplant to Columbus: Reon Moebius has been actively working on both recorded material for his main-stay band projects (Collector Of Dust/Seagull Died On Impact), and loosely involved in performing at various special events and venues within Franklin County since moving in 2017. Seagull Died On Impact, Reon’s second outfit, was created to fill in for solo live performances to loosen pressure on the limitations imposed on his first band project due to lack of immediate collaborators and bandmates. Centered around thunderous synthesizer bass drones, ritualistic drum machine programming, Reon’s solo electric violin playing is given a vast yet intimate space to soar across: inspired by the taut, hypnotic minimalism of the seminal New York industrial duo Suicide & Canadian avant garde violinist Nash The Slash. In a live setting, this project is meant to bring the intense ‘wall of sound’ approach of the flagship outfit into a more direct and visceral manner.
