Helado Negro (aka Roberto Carlos Lange) releases his third album, Invisible Life, on March 5th on Asthmatic Kitty. Singing in English for the first time, as well as Spanish, throughout Invisible Life, Helado Negro is a bilingual tour guide into the transcendent zone of wavelength where music is mutually transacted bouncing between artist and listener. It reflects Helado Negro’s refined love affair with synthesis, sampling and his own strengthening voice. After sharing one of Invisible Life’s songs sung in English, we now offer one of the album’s standout tracks sung in Spanish, premiered this morning via Interview Magazine. Listen below to “Junes” and read Interview Magazine’s conversation with Roberto here: http://bit.ly/VGT4nb.

About “Brain Finger Composition”
“Brain Finger Composition” is a musical performance by SCAD alumnus Roberto Carlos Lange (B.F.A., computer Art, 2003), commissioned by SCAD for deFINE ART 2013. For several weeks leading up to deFINE ART, the SCAD community was invited through the university’s social media outlets to become active participants in the creation of the work via Google Voice. This collection of diverse sounds serves as the inspiration for a series of original compositions for the performance. Connection with community is an integral part of Lange’s artistic practice, and is the conceptual underpinning in both the gathering of sound for “Brain Finger Composition” and the physical act of conducting the musicians. Each member of the 10-piece orchestra will tether to one of Lange’s fingers by a brightly colored piece of yarn. The musicians play according to a defined set of musical instructions, resulting in a sonic aesthetic of interlocking patterns. Lange has assembled an orchestra of nationally-known creative talent for the performances, including Adron, voice and guitar; Jason Ajemian, double bass; SCAD sound design professor Matthew Akers, electronics; Shelley Burgon, harp; Matt Crum, percussion; Nathaniel Morgan, saxophone; Jamie Reeder, violin; Mario Schambon, percussion; along with two guest SCAD student musicians. The performance is free and open to the public.
