Tangowerk
Tangowerk is a project by Berlin-based music producer, composer and artist Nhoah. Its main musical influences are Argentine tango and the Electronic music sounds of Berlin. Background Travels to Buenos Aires in 2005 sparked the initial inspiration for the creation of the project. Over the span of the next five years, many international artists in Berlin and Buenos Aires were recorded to eventually finalise the 14 tracks for the debut album carrying the same name as the project: Tangowerk. Besides electro and tango themes, audio aesthetics based on the Golden Twenties took strong musical influence. The album was mostly recorded in the famous Estudios ION in Buenos Aires where artists such as Astor Piazzolla or Osvaldo Pugliese had been recording. Back in Berlin, modular synthesizer, analog gramophones, radios and reel-to-reel tape recorders as well as state of the art technical post processing applications were implemented to create the unique, intermodal, amalgamated soundscape. Featured Argentine vocalists include Tango icon Adriana Varela, singer Walter "Chino" Laborde and Karina Beorlegui as well as rapper El Topo. They were joined by Berlin-based singer Mieze Katz, Ina Viola and Lulu Schmidt, as well as Australian performance artist Headvoice and Crooner Louie Austen from Vienna. Collaboration
