Working in unison with the London Contemporary Orchestra, electronic musician and painter Teebs lays down his delicately assembled, off-kilter beats.
Teebs was born Mtendere (pronounced ten-de-ra, which is Chichewa for peace) Mandowa in New York and bounced around the East Coast before finally planting his feet in the southern California suburb of Chino Hills.
A member of Flying Lotus’s Brainfeeder label and the My Hollow Drum collective, Teebs’ style involves recording, layering, altering, and organising several sounds, including, harps, shakers, drum taps and even tape peeling.
Teebs released his first album, Ardour, on Brainfeeder in 2010. LA Weekly called it ‘one of the most delicate and lovely albums of the year.’
His paintings have been exhibited at New Image Art and Space1520 in Los Angeles, and he has collaborated on clothing designs with Ron Herman and Obey Clothing.
