nnenn

about

NNENN is the collaboration between singer-songwriter Johanneke ter Stege and producer and sound designer Tonny Nobel. After a spontaneous studio session, they were not only overwhelmed by the music they had made, but also by each other. From that moment, things started to heat up between the two of them and that journey continues to shape the music. Johanneke’s influence is apparent in Tonny’s more organic sounding beats, whereas his abstract approach has lead to a reinvention of her voice and piano. The resulting surrender is complete and includes the risk of being hit in one’s deepest core. The potential friction enables NNENN to ascend in a climax of harmonies at one moment, and to scrape and to stand almost violently against each other at others. The outcome creates a sound in a similar camp as FKA Twigs, Portishead and Imogen Heap. Kindamuzik: “It reminds of Portishead and Lamb” (in Dutch) 3voor12 Gelderland: “The most exciting band at Oranjepop this year” (in Dutch) Fileunder: “Mixture of Roosbeef and Tori Amos most exciting act of the day” (in Dutch) HCTF: “With the vocals taking the edge of the cold electronics they have created an intense and gentle batch of songs that will be appreciated by dance and pop fans who will be surprised that they can like the same act after all” User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
