imaginary trip sounds

Von Daler & Low Pressure (também conhecido por Emo), uniram esforços para construir uma uma ponte entre a electrónica, o tango, o dub/reggae e o downtempo. Este projecto de Copenhaga, lançou este ano o álbum Sonatas en dub, que transpira a Kingston e a Buenos Aires. Uma junção de estilos improvável mas que soa a coisa-bem-construida. As vozes são asseguradas por Low Pressure (aka Emo), por Natasja e por Billie Koppel, no tema Prime crime. Com tons de melancolia, dados por violinos e guitarras acústicas, com a alegria do dub e com a energia do tango, se faz um álbum improvavelmente coerente. Fica mais um pouco de história retirada daqui:

"Sonatas En Dub is the result of their combined efforts: a boundary-breaking album that takes you to the tango bars of Buenos Aires as well as to the mountains surrounding Kingston, Jamaica, music with a distinct and beautiful sound full of warmth, heart, and authenticity, rounded out by vocals from Emo and various guest vocalists.

Danish singer, producer and multi-talent Emo (aka Low Pressure, aka Emo S) has since his debut on a New York label in 2000, created a stack of uncompromising and ground-breaking releases, including two very well received solo albums. His unique sound, combining reggae, hip hop, dub, soul, electronica and jazz, has drawn attention throughout the world and has led him into collaborations with a number of international artists such as DJ Vadim, Boozoo Bajou, Natasja and Djosos Krost. It has been said about Emo "if his voice doesn't get you, your heart is made of concrete".
Tango guitar player, producer and classical arranger Asger von Daler has lived in Latin America for seven years. As co-founder and musical director of the Buenos Aires-based studio, Momix, he has produced music for films, television and theatres all over Latin America. His inspiration starts with the traditional folk genres from the villages of the Chilean Andes mountains and stretches to avantgarde rock, pop, electronic and acoustic music. Asger von Daler has given numerous performances throughout Latin America and is a double Grammy Award-winner in his home country.

Sonatas en Dub is recorded live in studios and produced electronically, partly in Buenos Aires, partly in Copenhagen. One of the contributing musicians is Pablo Gignoli, Bandoneón-player in the Argentine tango orchestra "La Fernandez Fierro". Guest vocalists are Danish singer Billie Koppel (her singing is deeply admired by Emo and Asger) and not least the late dancehall queen from Denmark, Natasja, who died tragically in a car accident in Jamaica in 2007. Natasja and Emo had known each other as teenagers and had been friends ever since, participating through the years in each others projects. At the time of the making of Sonatas en Dub Natasja approached Emo, eager not only to toast and rap, but also to take on the challenge of singing. The result can be heard on the single 'Real Love' and on the remarkable song called 'Let me Be'."
