TEHBBI
A multi-disciplinary Brussels-based artist, originally from Mechelen, graduated in fine arts at LUCA school of arts. He started off producing his own music and picked up mixing over time. Over time he teamed up with some close friends, naming themself Karmaten, regularly collaborating on productions.
He follows his instincts, always experimenting with different media. Sound, space, and the evolution of his practice are shaped by exhibitions, experimentation, and a refusal to stay in one lane. Get immersed in his creative world as he traces the rhythms that echo his way of moving through the world.
The concept emerged from a unique intersection of passions: architecture & urbanism, music, and a desire to connect. At its core, ‘suburb’ explores how the urban environment shapes musical tastes and influences artistic output. Aiming to preserve and showcase the - unique - musical identities of artists (DJs and producers), the platform serves as a decentralized digital archive that ties their work to specific locations, fostering a sense of belonging and identity.
Through the format of seasonal episodes, based on an intricate entanglement of recorded performances and interviews, ‘suburb’ tries to capture the diversity of musical expression in different (sub)urban areas, locally and globally. The platform aims to shape a (digital) space for connection, offering individuals a chance to feel heard in this age of acceleration - through participation, between creators and beholders.
Through the art of mapping, the visual translation of this data, ‘suburb’ invites individuals to reflect on how their surroundings impact their creative process. Creating a global catalog while emphasizing the uniqueness of individuals and local (sonic) diversity. Ultimately allowing to exceed the boundaries of the digital realm, a potential for local discoveries and events, fostering a more tangible and personal experience.
