Tango Lento by Equohm

Deep Sampling Theory and Down Tempo Legacy!

Four tracks of cloudy cutting edge beats and dazed library music.

Something magical, ancient and mysterious envelops Tango Lento. Its stumbling patterns’ repetition is scattered by sparkling and raw percussion painting crackling textures.

All the tracks are developed starting from a screwed sampling practice, digging into 1 euro records bins in flea-markets, masterful works of Italian library music and environmental sounds. Original sources range from classics like Piccioni, Umiliani and Alessandroni, to Tchaikovsky’s "Capriccio Italien" and Ricardo Santos' tangos.

Relying on deep listening, track knowledge and his unique vision, Equohm is able to capture the better and the more bizarre match between heterogeneous music.

Tango Lento’s artwork is curated by NOT399039, feeding AI conflicting information to produce surreal artificial-natural landscapes and objects.
