On ‘Electronic Tango Session - Bandoneon Meets Electronic’, bandoneon virtuoso Lothar Hensel and electronic tinkerer Jörg Schweinbenz recontextualise the characteristic plaintive and breathing sound of the bandoneon, enriched by electronic crackling, cavernous reverberations, electronic distortion and danceable beats. With its diverse stylistic range, from subtle ambient spheres to nightclub dancefloors, the album offers numerous possibilities for use in productions related to art and culture, documentaries, travelogues, or biographies.

Ecos De Ausencia
A night-time stroll. In a puddle on the cobblestones: a blurred salute from a former self. A wistful bandoneon piece with a machine beat.
Electrotango: a disco track evoking longing, with bandoneon and electronic four-to-the-floor beat. For reports on living conditions in South American cities.
A mysterious blackmail letter has been keeping the authorities on their feet for weeks. One click on the encrypted file opens a never-ending cascade of help tables that paralyses the entire server structure of the public office. Digitally distorted bandoneon, broken down into its binary components.
Pamplona, July 1925: A young Basque bullfighter clad in white celebrates exuberantly during the annual fiesta in one of the numerous street cafés of the Casco Vieja. Quirky bandoneon sequences mixed with electronic percussion and handclaps. With hints of flamenco.
Dramatic, heavily breathing chords on the bandoneon gradually merge with arpeggiator and four-to-the-floor beat. For international nightlife and sophisticated, modern content.
Farewell scene on the quay: a sea of white handkerchiefs waves from the portholes of the cabins, tears of farewell mingle with heavy oil in the thick, salty soup that washes around the bow of the mighty ocean liner. Nostalgic, at a leisurely pace.
