TARAB

"careful arrangements of sonic rubbish"

Melbourne based tarab explores re-contextualised collected sounds and tactile gestures formed into dynamic, psycho-geographical compositions inspired by discarded things, found things, crawling around in the dirt, junk, the ground, rocks, dust, wind, walking aimlessly, scratchy things, decay and most if not all the things he hears and sees. More than simply documenting a given site, tarab is interested in a direct engagement with our surrounds, teasing out half narratives, visceral sensation, false leads and heightened awareness.
Tarab has released music on 23five, Unfathomless, Kaon, Cronica, Semperflorens, Naturestrip, Nonlinear and Compost and Height.
