Tete Noise
TeTe Noise is the experimental music project of Georgian artist Sandro Chinchaladze.
Fusing cassette tape loops, analog electronics, and field recordings, TeTe Noise creates immersive sonic collages that blur the lines between sound art and music.
Often accompanied by abstract visuals and rooted in improvisation, his performances explore themes of decay, memory, and transformation.
With a background in electro-acoustic composition and a presence across festivals and art spaces, TeTe Noise stands at the intersection of noise, ambient, and performance art.
