Teddy Larue is a French artist who currently lives between France and Germany. He obtained his bachelor’s degree in art and art studies from the University Paris 1 Sorbonne in 2012, and his degree in visual arts with a focus on sound from the Haute Ecole des Arts du Rhin in Mulhouse in 2015. Teddy Larue’s artworks are based on a critical approach to listening. Since 2013, he has been active in the experimental and electronic music scene, performing throughout Europe.
Currently, Teddy Larue is working on creating live ambisonic sound environments that interpret a digital world within a speculative dystopian future, amidst a state of crisis brought on by climate catastrophe, war, acceleration, alienation, and capitalism. He uses granular synthesis, field recordings, samplers, eurorack, and Max for Live to distort, repeat, and modify sounds beyond recognition. These performances can be played spatially through soundscapes in Ambisonic, Quadraphonic, or Stereo. Teddy’s music is being released on the EZ label under his solo project Nuances d’engrais, and on UNSE Records Paris with his duo Multipolar.
