His parents were immigrants from Ecuador, but Roberto grew up in the materialistic lifestyle of southern Florida, U.S.A. Pounding bass beats from passing cars, boom boxes bouncing down the block, and late-night parties provided a foundation for Lange’s interest in sound.

Lange has collaborated with visual and sound artist David Ellis to compose a new series of kinetic sound sculptures. These include typewriters that self-type the lyrics to Grand Master Flash's "The Message" (in rhythm to the song, none-the-less), musical owls drawn out of liquor bottles, owl costumes made out of straws, flying musical birds, motion paintings, and trashcans (full of trash) that are actually living drum machines. Lange has also worked with Paul Duncan and Bear in Heaven as well as famed music producer Guillermo Scott Herren to produce Prefuse 73 and Savath and Savalas as an active member and contributor.

Lange's other projects include ROM, Epstein, as well as Helado Negro. Epstein is Lange's “beats and loops” project, a friendly beast born of the MPC sampler. Epstein's wildly prolific output, including a series of digital releases, full-lengths, and a remix album, is a gauzy, sunny kind of dance music that references DJ mixing, summertime block parties, and mellow compositional noise.

Helado Negro began when Lange moved to New York in 2006. The early group concept grew through projects and experiments Roberto would conduct while recording himself and others in his home studio. Loops, computer synthesis, record samples, and live instruments provided the foundation for the first full-length, Awe Owe, a vibrant, shimmering, full-band Latin psyche-funk-folk epic.

After taking time to create a new series of sound sculptures, release a Helado Negro EP, score one film and begin work on another (based around his animation), Lange recently holed up in a cabin in the Connecticut woods to record the follow-up to Awe Owe. Canta Lechuza is the latest incarnation of Helado Negro and its sound may come as a surprise. Gone is the big collaborative group jam of previous work and in its place is Helado-Negro-as-intimate-solo-project. Canta Lechuza feels like the place it was recorded—its vocals and beats and synth lines coming together to craft a warm, buoyant, comforting electronic dance sound, an effortless, personal thing anchored by Lange's warm, earthy, conversational voice. Based around field recordings and live instrumentation fed through computer processing, Canta Lechuza is a thoroughly modern affair.

Todo lo que me falta
Helado Negro Lyrics

Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴

Largas nubes no vieron
Caminadas oscureciendo
Pedí tu nombre sin retorno
Me olvido que estoy dormido

Todo lo que me falta
Es tú
Todo lo que me falta

Es tú
Todo lo que me falta
Es tú
Todo lo que me falta
Es tú

Volví ayer, te encontré en pedazos
Comí tu ojo con mi parpado
Y me hablabas despacio
Y me decías que no me vayas porque ahora sé

Todo lo que me falta
Es tú
Todo lo que me falta
Es tú
Todo lo que me falta
Es tú
Todo lo que me falta
Es tú

Quédate que hay luz
Quédate que hay luz
Quédate que hay luz

Quédate que hay luz
Quédate que hay luz
Quédate que hay luz

Largas nubes no vieron
The long clouds didn't see

Caminadas oscureciendo
Darkening as they walked

Pedí tu nombre sin retorno
I asked for your name with no response

Me olvido que estoy dormido
I forget that I am asleep

Todo lo que me falta
All that I lack

Es tú
Is you

Volví ayer, te encontré en pedazos
I returned yesterday, found you in pieces

Comí tu ojo con mi párpado
I ate your eye with my eyelid

Y me hablabas despacio
And you spoke to me slowly

Y me decías que no me vayas porque ahora sé
And you told me not to go because now I know

Quédate que hay luz
Stay, there is light

Long clouds did not see
Walks darkening
I asked for your name with no return
I forget that I'm asleep, oh oh oh oh

All that i lack
Is you
All that i lack
Is you
All that i lack
Is you
All that i lack
Is you

I came back yesterday, found you in pieces
I ate your eye with my eyelid
And you spoke to me slowly
And you told me not to go because now I know ...

All that i lack
Is you
All that i lack
Is you
All that i lack
Is you
All that i lack
Is you

Stay there is light
Stay there is light
Stay there is light
Stay there is light
Stay there is light
Stay there is light
