Founded when Berlin based musician Ulrich Hornberg mixed a newly acquired Commodore 64 with visiting Algerian drummer Jol Allouche’s tablas – “old culture meets new technology” – the fundamentals were laid. Simple, maybe naïve, with a curiosity to combine and inspire.

“The means of production must belong to the workers”, investing in a studio, label and publishing house allowed INO the adventure to record what they wanted, a project via “gästes“, taking their influences and culture, in a melting pot of eastern melodies, african percussion, jazz, soul, dub, and pop – an “orchestra“ not of size, but of different playing styles and idiosyncratic interpretations.
