Tarab

TARAB's work is a mix of re-contextualized field recordings and tactile gestures formed into dynamic, psycho-geographical compositions inspired by discarded things, found things, junk, dirt, the ground, rocks, dust, wind, walking aimlessly, scratchy things, decay, and most if not all the things he sees and hears. His work explores the possibilities of personal chartings and reactions to the urban environment, revelling in the decay and detritus to be found there.
