About the Artist
Teddy Tawil aka TEDTEDTED is an multi-instrumentalist and electronic artist from Beirut, residing in Berlin. His artistic journey started out as a drummer who was fascinated by the possibilities of imitating electronic music with his body. His exposure to jazz music from an early age influenced his perception of time in music, as he found himself drawn to complex rhythmic structures. Eventually, electronic music became his main focus, as it grounded his virtuosic needs while providing him with a wide spectrum of expression alleys, influenced from IDM to electronica, breakbeats and experimental dance music.
TEDTEDTED's work is heavily focused on exploring the intersections of political struggle, noise, sound design, dystopia, dysphoria and catharsis by way of designing soundscapes and decorating time with frustrated beats and nervous transients. In his work, he attempts to rebuild what is constantly destroyed in a deteriorating world.
TEDTEDTED’s first album was released in collaboration with Ruptured Label, an independent experimental music label based in Beirut. His second album was released independently. He also co-wrote two of Kinematik’s most recent albums, a Lebanese experimental ensemble.
Currently, TEDTEDTED is delving into a science fiction project of resistance, vulnerabilities, humanoid warring machines and brain deconstructions. The project is a continuation of his exploration of dystopian themes, highlighting the resilience of the human spirit in face of adversity and hegemony. More »
