Dangertown was the name of Brooklyn’s Greenpoint area around the year 1900, and the name of the New York-based duo of Dafna Naphtali and Hans Tammen. In their active collaboration since 1998, the duo probes and playfully undermines the elements of their technical and aesthetic practices, using a variety of noise makers, oscillators and other machines - all along the route paying homage (in a twirl of the radio dial) to ambient music, electronica, music concrete, free jazz and improvised music, as well as all manner of non-Western musics.
In the video below they are playing a set during the memorial for Michael Evans, a dear friend who passed away in 2021. They use Michael’s electronic instruments: the Ballerina, the Radio and a Therevox (well, they also brought a STEIM Cracklebox).
