The fusion of electronic ambient sounds with Flamenco, transformed the interpretation of this traditional Spanish music and met with popular (success ). His profound knowledge of ethnic, classical and electronic music were influenced by his Asian and Japanese Language and Literature Degree studies at Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan in the Associated Kyoto Program exchange with Connecticut College. There, he studied the Shakuhachi and medieval Japanese notation from 1988 to 1989 with Nakao Tozan, director of the Shin-Tozan-Ryu School of Shakuhachi, daughter of the founder. He worked at the National Sound Archive in London as assistant to (Dr. Janet Topp Fargion ) and updated the archive records on Japanese music and also documented the Lesotho music collection at the (International Music Collection Department ). This allowed him to further his research into Native American, African and Japanese traditional music. He worked at the Japan Society in New York in the Film, Theatre and Music Department, and was Assistant Stage Manager to Toru Takemitsu at the New York International Festival of the Arts in 1990. Back in London at the Beat Factory studio he managed Fruithouse Records with (Sonia Cristina ) from (Curved Air ), and assisted producer Graeme Holdaway on projects such as (Salad ) and Transglobal Underground.

The desire to be with his family pulled him to Spain, where on the beaches of Málaga, he struggled to get Chambao off the ground. He introduced them to Sony BMG, and got them a five record deal. Irreconcilable differences forced him to leave the band, while still maintaining a close relationship with Daniel Casan, the band's song writer. He then settled in Madrid, where he set up Magik Sound Productions, producing the critically acclaimed record for Cathy Claret, "(Sambisarane )" with Subterfuge Records and various pieces for Café del Mar, including "Espiral" in the 25th anniversary edition. His studio shared with Hugo Westerdahl in Madrid allowed him to work with (Eduardo Paniagua ) and Paco de Lucía. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henrik Takkenberg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
