----------------------------------------
N.G.O. — that is Christian Schmid and Rico Baumann, who are rewiring their pile of instruments, their tools and equipment before a backdrop of wide open stylistic drawers and shattered genre barriers, thus making their own stage on which to play music for themselves and for the world at large.
Since 2002 N.G.O. have been realising their very own idea of pop music. In their original compositions their creativity knows no bounds.
N.G.O. is brute beat and finely wrought tune, function and aesthetics, chamber and orchestral music, instrumental and song-like, electro-acoustic loop music, but never an infinite loop that is there just for its own sake.
