Deadbeat presents Ark Welders Guild^CA/DE

Scott Monteith, best known as Deadbeat, is a musician, sound artist and music technology educator. Active since the early aughts, the Canadian producer has been pushing Dub sounds into previously unheard directions, notably thanks to his signature minimal sounds. Based in Berlin since 2006, Monteith produced 20 albums, three dozen singles and countless remixes and collabs under his Deadbeat moniker, and is largely recognized as one of the Dub movement’s most notorious archivists.

Born in Italy and based in Berlin since 2013, Letizia Trussi works as a curator, project manager and cultural operator in the realms of art, music and education. Under the alias Elle, Trussi builds on her training as a vocalist and performs as a multidisciplinary artist. Driven by her keen interest for all things contemporary, her projects are often marked by innovative concepts implemented through creative and collaborative actions.

Ark Welders Guild is Scott Monteith’s latest audiovisual project, in collaboration with Italian singer Letizia Trussi. Their debut album Mons Clepsydra, released in April 2023, weaves an intricate web of polyrhythmic audiovisual psychedelia spanning several genres and tempos, exploring the relativity of time and our perception of it.

Deadbeat présente Ark Welders Guild, un projet audiovisuel en collaboration avec l'artiste italienne Letizia Trussi. Sur fond de films de voyage et de motifs générés par une intelligence artificielle, les lignes de basses se font plus complexes forçant la voix de Trussi à expérimenter les possibles avant de trouver sa place. Une fois installée, ses paroles se mêlent à des images terrestres et des tremblements de basses fréquences, explorant alors les différentes profondeurs qu'offrent les sons telluriques.
