Ilir Lluka – HARABEL

SHORT BIO

Ilir Lluka is an audiovisual artist, electronic music composer and software author from Tirana, Albania, active in the field of drone/avantgarde electronic music and multimedia art. While his academic studies were developed outside of arts (majored in political sciences and international relations), he studied as an autodidact for several years the techniques of audio and visual programming / design, composition and synthesis in their academic and practical level. Lluka’s works are surrealistic depictions of daily-life moments through psychological/emotional associations with memory in relation to the present in an overall dreamlike atmosphere. His technical approach comes mainly through custom software crafted specifically for each work and the combination of field-recordings, electronic sounds, as well as acoustic instruments (cello, double bass, piano, etc, often heavily distorted) and also poetry.
