Mood Taeg
is a musical project split between Düsseldorf and Shanghai. The musical style of Mood Taeg reflects a love of German experimental music from the 1970s and the legacy that it has in other musical styles such as hip-hop and electro. The function of Mood Taeg is to create music that incorporates the motoric drumming of
Jaki Liebezeit
and
Klaus Dinger
, the melodic sensibilities of
Neu!
and
Kraftwerk
, and the experimentation of
Can
,
Cluster
, and
Harmonia
to produce extended instrumental metronomic compositions that are contemporary and at the same time fit exactly within the lineage of their influences. Mood Taeg see their music as uncompromising but totally accessible. They don't believe the form dictates the art; the art dictates the form. Thus, songs can be ten minutes long with long passages built on motorik grooves punctuated with vocal samples featuring anything from political lectures by
Michael Parenti
to sections from
Michael Halliday
's books on systemic functional linguistics. Mood Taeg record all of their music at their home studio, Lowell's Garden, and combine digital recording techniques with old analog synths and instrumentation. The band is part of the wider
Mood Taeg Kollektiv
that includes musicians, graffiti artists, DJs, photographers, painters, and video artists. The project was started in 2016 as a musical outlet for Kollektiv members
Lowell Freeman
,
TDK
, and
K'ko
but it is also a project for fellow Kollektiv members such as
Faible
who creates visuals for the band. For fans of: Can, Neu!, Kraftwerk, Cluster, Harmonia,
Camera
,
Jane Weaver
,
Kid Loco
,
Mogwai
