MODEM is a band that creates wonderfully dystopian Finnish-language synapop, formed by Tytti Roto and Ville Valavuo. The duo’s self-sustaining recording and publishing project began when immersion in Italian horror films and the catalog of the Minimal wave label combined with musical experimentation inspired by drum machines and analog synths. The first official MODEM release Elokuvia / Autofiktio 12″ single appeared in spring 2022, accompanied by a cinematic music video directed by Ilona Lehtonen. The band released their most recent single Luxuria in December 2022, and is currently working on new material for their debut album. There will therefore also be new, unreleased songs at the concerts in 2023.
