With her distinct sound treatment and signature improvised performances, Liliane Chlela has been pushing forward the boundaries of 'Experimental and Electronic Music' in Lebanon and the Middle East/West Asia and North Africa for over a decade both as a solo artist and via her various local and international collective projects.

One of the most versatile female producers/musicians in the Middle East/West Asia and North Africa, Chlela constructs a characteristic sound both as a composer/producer and as a live musician.

She further explores the connections between improvisation and sound treatment by approaching numerous musical genres with her signature techniques.

Relentless and heavy dark electronic beats mingle with anger and anguish on Liliane Chlela's album "Safala".

The Lebanese producer and hybrid DJ tapped into her personal memories to bring forth a sonic concoction anchored in the inherited oral epistemologies of her ancestors.

Memories intertwine with Beirut, using incantations inherited from Chlela's grandmother as building blocks to build an eight track album.

From warding off the evil eye to protest sounds from the past year of events in Lebanon, the album haunts the listener to invoke a striking elegy on terror and anger, while inducing a rollercoaster of sonic eruptions.
