Tengger har base i Seoul i Sydkorea, men tilbringer det meste af deres tid som en rejsende musikfamilie for at hente inspiration, for at skabe musik og spille koncerter.
Bandet består af parret Itta og Marqido, som sammen skaber et lydunivers, der kombinerer ambient og drone med elektronisk musik med den karakteristiske, repetitive "kraut-puls", som man kender den fra bands som Cluster, Harmonia og NEU!. Tengger kalder selv deres musik for "new age drone magic", og de fremfører den på harmonium, vokal og synths. "TENGGER was the most magical of all the performances I watched."- Bob Boilen (NPR Tiny Desk, All Songs Considered)ENG:T E N G G E R is a traveling musical family, made up of Pan-Asian couple, ITTA (from South Korea) and MARQIDO (from Japan), who create their brand of psychedelic New-Age drone magic through the use of Voice, Indian harmonium, and Toy instruments (played by ITTA) and synths & electronics (played by MARQIDO). The duo originally started out with the moniker "10" but since the birth of their son RAAI (who joins them on tour and playing Voice, Synth, Toy Instrument, Dance performance on stage) in 2012, have called themselves TENGGER (meaning 'unlimited expanse of sky' in Mongolian) to mark the expansion of thefamily. It also means 'huge sea' in Hungarian. Travel, as spiritual experience in real environments, and the sound between the space and the audience have been central themes of their works. The family's yearly pilgrimages inform every aspect of their art.Pitchfork: "From field recordings to Krautrock to something they call 'aural hang-gliding', TENGGER have truly begun to put their stamp on psychedelic music."Uncut Magazine: "There's a level of detail in TENGGER's music that sets them apart from other drone artists, sounds nimbly woven together rather than painted in broad brushstrokes."Bandcamp Daily: "...like stepping through a glowing portal and gasping at the wonders of another world" Stereogum: "Their shimmering synthesizers and reverberant chants invoke the most ethereal end of krautrock..."
