futuretense: TaliaBle + 15 15
This edition of our twice-monthly free music series fuses a theatrical mix of rap, R&B and futuristic soundscapes from musicians pushing the boundaries of music.
TaliaBle creates music with poignant lyrics and beats crafted with by her producing wizard, Karl Brinaj, topped off by a gritty, theatrical performance where costumed characters emerge on stage with her and illustrate lines in the songs.
Gaining attention from i.D magazine and headlining Tate Lates show, TaliaBle has been hailed as ‘exciting, experimental and punk as hell.’ She uses her music as ‘a soundscape catalyst for imaginary world building’.
The 24-year old rapper and visual artist’s EP All Desires Trouble Us, is set for release on 12 July.
Weaving between R&B, futuristic electronic explorations and blends of dancehall, 15 15 have created a distinct and singular sonic language that matches the uniqueness of their own rituals and mythologies.
Throughout their EPs Le Jeune (2020), Varua (2022) and Ataheva (2023), they’ve conjured epic soundscapes taking cues from criss-crossing underground movements and shaped by their Tahitian heritage.
Their forthcoming project SAPLIN offers a captivating dive into Tahitian culture and the modern underground, capturing the carefree spirit and vitality of the island’s youth through contemporary stories.
Lauded by the likes of Clash, Crack and Dazed, 15 15 keep creating autonomous spaces for marginalised voices.
