NENE BARATTO

Nene is an Italian musician and audio engineer with 15 years experience in recording, mixing and mastering and more than 100 released album and singles. Moving to Berlin made him embrace the whole landscape of alternative music from dirty bad ass punx to black (power!) music, collaborating with producers such as King Khan and Maximilian Weissenfeldt, to create real sonic masterpieces.

Nene and Allan first met in Turin, Italy and began collaborating together musically in Berlin, Germany for lifekollektiv. As well as mastering material for SOUNDS OF A NATION, Nene works with Allan exploring loops and composing tracks from 100% organic field recorded material, layering sounds from one nation on top of those from another to create a global symphony #CONNECTEDISEVERYTHING
