Biography
Producer and multi-instrumentalist Teleseen builds abstract dub soundscapes into complexly layered fields of ambiance that have their roots as much in of post-modern theories of space and structure as they do in the works of artist like Sly and Robbie and Scientist. Rhythms are woven into densely processed noises and field recordings sourced from origins as diverse as a shortwave radio transmissions, mixer feedback, static and defective studio equipment recorded in the US, to the sounds of street corners everywhere from Crown Heights to Kampala. The music internalizes the connections between natural and man-made modes and patterns of communication, taking reggae, dub and Detroit techno as its rhythmic touchstones. Often collaborating closely with video artists. Recent releases include "Qassam" 3" CD, released in Soft Targets V.1 a new hand-held journal of poetry, artwork, criticism, short fiction, found images, sound, and other ephemera, and "Paper Voice, Sufferer" released on Percepts, July '05. Teleseen's first full-length CD "WAR" releases on Percepts on August 15, 2006.
