Maarten Lierop: Recent Episodes

Going in new directions, with more analog synths, less of the bandoneon. Lets see what it will bring!

—————

Fascinated by the rich musical tradition of Argentine tango in both classical and more contemporary varieties, Electroccordion explores the limits of this beautifull genre.

Sometimes accoustic, then again completely electronic. Sometimes full of energy, then again smooth and sultry. The sound of electroccordion is incredibly diverse.

In 2008 Electroccordion searched for a place of the accordion in contemporary music. The debut album 'Electroccordion' is the result of this search. On the latest album 'NuTango' Electrocoordion is using mainly the bandoneon (well known for it connection to tango music) because of the much richer sound and greater expression of that instrument.
