Helado Negro
Helado Negro (p/k/a/ Roberto Carlos Lange) mostly widely known for his work as 1/3rd of Savath & Savalas (with production-partner Prefuse 73) - is an artist in every sense of the word. From installation work with David Ellis to DJ sets and MPC sessions with Guillermo Scott Herren. Born in South Florida - the son of Ecuadorean immigrants - he grew up surrounded by tropical heat and hurricanes that represented the rich colors of sound and people living in South Florida. The sound of bass and late-night "peñas" in and around his house carved a deep foundation into his interest for sound and the things producing them. The "pause-tape" and a karaoke machine gave birth to his first sounds and music. With whatever he could grab; guitars, matches, hand claps and voice, Roberto was slowly revealing his way of hearing things. Roberto's musical pieces are adjusted and aligned with the moment they exist in, they are constructed through improvised performances and accidental happenings. The music and sounds themselves have been over the years documented and compiled together by him and a few record labels most notably the label Arepaz based out of Miami. These "albums" are extensions of the after thought of what these songs do together as a group. The albums are based on themes that carry weight and maybe criticize an idea as an observation.
