Composer of mercurial soundtracks for uncertain times, Thavius Beck
conjoins various strains of electronic music to arrive at a daringly
ambitious sound. He joined a lineup of local artists to
celebrate black electronic music and benefit KBOO on April 3rd at
Holocene in Portland, Oregon.
Mr. Beck has received recognition in The Wire, Spin, and Urb for his
solo releases under the moniker Adlib, the Labwaste project with fellow
LA artist Subtitle, his recent production for fellow Mush artist
K-The-I???, his early work with Global Phlowtations, numerous guest
appearances, and producing for and touring in support of and
accompanying Saul Williams. An exceptional programmer, engineer and
multi-instrumentalist, Thavius Beck’s many talents allow him to take a
song from idea to completion without ever having to leave his cluttered
studio.
