For t l k, every sonic detail holds a fragment of memory. The Bristol-based producer and vocalist crafts an intricate tapestry of found sounds, vocal layers, organic instrumentation and percussive rhythms, each element woven together, digitally processed and spatially situated, to produce enveloping songs that conjure the moment of their initial recording in evolved forms. Their works evolve from memory, dialogue, dreams and ongoing explorations into loss, selfhood, human behaviour and its coalescence and tensions with the non-human.
In November 2026, t l k announced a new evolution of their music, alongside signing to Berlin label LEITER. ‘Invitation’, the first single from this new chapter, releases 17 Nov 2026.
A distinct voice operating at the intersection of sound worlds, t l k has spent the past six years establishing their granular practice of choral vocalisations, layered arrangements and electronic production through releases like 2022’s debut EP ‘Strength In Tenderness’, 2023’s sophomore ‘Primed For Loss’, and 2024’s ‘Legs’, which was featured on Gilles Peterson’s prestigious Future Bubblers compilation. Their expansively intimate live shows have seen them perform at core stages like the Barbican, Southbank Centre, Jazz Cafe, ICA, Glastonbury and WOMAD, with an emerging presence across Europe, and opening slots for the likes of Aphex Twin, Nabihah Iqbal and Lucinda Chua.
Their music embodies a philosophical approach to creativity and being, self-described as “the act of Noticing”. Deeply informed by affinities to minimalism, chaos theory, Taoism, Internal Family Systems and the school of Deep Listening, it sets a tone of sensory commitment to consistent observation - awake, in dreams, and in the in-between - in incrementally expanding detail. They share: “I am interested in how we can witness something change its material on lending it our widening attention; how the seemingly smallest of things can expand exponentially in its discernible detail. Recording has changed the way I listen… the way I relate to the tactility of sound, and how it changes over time.”
Beginning their musical studies in classical flute and piano from six years old, it was at secondary school where choral chamber music began to hone their ear and vocal tone, and where voices began to exist in relationship with one another. A move to Bristol led to the development of their singular sound through the prism of the city’s storied trip-hop, dubstep and sound-system culture, and emergent jazz, folk and experimental scenes, whilst mentorship from world-renowned experimental soprano singer Juliet Fraser via the VOICEBOX programme further cemented their relationship with the ‘voice-as-instrument’ philosophy.
t l k shares: “Voice is the through-line. Ever since I started writing my own music, I’ve been fascinated with the complexity, nuance and embodiment innate to singing, on philosophical and anatomical levels… how amplification can help to communicate the most subtle of interventions, and how manipulation and processing are totally unbounded. VOICEBOX changed the way I understand and experience the voice… it fundamentally shifted my approach to interacting with sound as a material.”
