Liliane Chlela
Liliane Chlela is a producer, DJ, and performer, widely known in electronic and experimental circles for her unique and audacious approach to sound, stirring audiences into pushing the limits of their auditory experiences ever further. Through her signature techniques, she explores the relationships between improvisation and the manipulation of sounds from wide-ranging musical genres.
She performs as a solo artist regionally and internationally, but also as a versatile collaborator with regional and international acts from Mashrou’ Leila’s Hamed Sinno to acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and composer Khyam Allami as well as Björn Meyer. With three self-produced albums already under her belt, Chlela’s latest album Safala blends field recordings, personal memories, and incantations with pioneering and disruptive sounds; she notably premiered it to great acclaim at the Tusk Festival in the U.K.
A propensity for transdisciplinary research led her to develop her audiovisual skills and apply them to a wide variety of fields, including fashion films, interactive installations, and performance art. Boasting a decidedly diverse and adventurous sound palette, the Lebanese-born and Montreal-based artist is now lauded as one of the most multifaceted female producers and musicians across the Middle East, West Asia and North Africa.
