Noa Noa is the debut tape by Nicolas Gaunin, italian electronic musician from Padua, already known for his militancy in bands such as Orange Car Crash, The Beautiful Bunker and Lay Llamas.
With this work Gaunin shows his ability to find the right balance between mechanized polyrhythms and acoustic samples, drawing his personal sketches of tribal ensembles and central Africa's orchestras, reworking the sounds and messing up with rhythms.
The result is a very delicate yet groovy tape that recalls works such as Noir et Blanc by Zazou, Bikaye & Cy 1 or the 80s experiments by Ralf Nowy.
