Tarik Rahim

Tarik Rahim is an enigmatic solo artist, internationally active and experimental working across sound art, film, and live performance. His work expands from Australia´s and New Zealand´s electronic underground scene to European film festivals, his output unfolds as improvised, site-responsive performances built on voice, field recordings, and deconstructed song blending his skills with organic instrumentals and electronic sounds. Raw, minimal, obscure and deeply emotional where no two performances will be ever repeat. Emerging from niche self-released offline CDs that sold out in 2017 which are not available online, Rahim gained early visibility under the umbrella of international songwriter Pablo Und Destruktion and a memorable performance at the Jovellanos Theatre being the youngest artist to perform in this venue which unfolded several performances in different many different countries for him all around Germany, Portugal, France, Spain, Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka. Rahim’s practice leans toward deconstructing and introspection.His sound moves between minimal obscure electronic music with ethereal vocals, field recordings, and fragmented song structures. Comparisons orbit figures like Dean Blunt, Dirty Beaches or an experimental-ripped-apart Leonard Cohen, hard to label but inherently talented. With Burmese-Australian artist Mo Aung, he also forms DOMUS: an improvisational project operating between live composition, installation, and sonic ritual.
