Description
Berliners DIRK LEYERS and NOMAD expressed their hard earned musical freedom in a dogma : The use of a Roland TR-808 analog drum machine in every single track.
They programmed the machine to lay poly-rhythms over multicultural drum and percussion tracks , fascinated -and sometimes puzzled- by it’s own characteristically sudden swing and accent changes, and named it : “Africaine 808 ” – their third and first female band member.
