YA! by The Headroom Project The Headroom Project : YA!.
 Vivid world-electronica grooves.

YA! is the 10th album of The Headroom Project, released on Magnatune. It's a colourful journey into sound, a cross-genre kaleidoscope. Andreas Ecker aka The Headroom Project combines powerful african voices with, for example, native peruvian chants and electronica ("YA!" and "Patcha Mama"), Barbershop-chants with a children's music box and jazz/fusion-elements ("Bölebölebu"), noisy textures with poems ("Bereru 2017"), and heavy blues in 7/4 measure with Dark Metal chants. The two most danceable tracks, "I Am Not A Robot" and "Dark Night", are the results of a collaboration with Sigrid Haverkamp.

Andreas Ecker works as a test author of audio software. One consequence of this job is the ability to use new voodoo-software for The Headroom Project. For example, the slightly crazy-sounding female chant of "In der kalten Schachtel" ("in a box so cold") is the result of a transformation of a rather stupid-sounding rap chant from a sample library.

The background-texture of "Bereru 2017" is the result of several sound-destructive plug-ins. Beside technical tricks and unusual combinations of musical elements, humor is one important aspect of The Headroom Project: "I Like That" is a persiflage of traditional German carnival march-music.
