Tati au Miel (CA)
Tania Daniel is a DJ, producer, composer, and designer born in Haiti and raised in Montreal. Since 2017, she has been working as a freelance artist, creating works in various fields of art, including experimental sound pieces, sculptures, textiles, and ritual performances.
Tati au Miel creates music based on her own visions, drawing inspiration from artists like Moor Mother, Crystallmess, Dreamcrusher, Merzbow, Keiji Haino, and Klein. She moves within the legacy of sonic iconoclasts such as Bobby Beethoven and Juliana Huxtable, breaking rules, destroying dance floors, and mesmerizing audiences – while paying homage to the communities that inspire her work. Her compositions feature influences from Aphex Twin and Hyperdub, as well as the melancholic lines of “The Waxen Pith” and “Stolen Kiss of a Succubus” by Fatima Al Qadiri. Indeed, her music is a surreal blend of many influences.
For Tati au Miel, the creative process is one of cacophony and catharsis. “Exorcism has an often negative connotation” – she explains – “I wanted to see it as a positive and spiritual rebirth”.
She recently released the “Carousel EP” on Halcyon Veil, preceded by six independent productions. Her works have been showcased at festivals such as Mutek (Montreal), Sonic Arts (Amsterdam), Dweller (New York), and in galleries like Kurimanzutto (Mexico City), Auto Italia (London), and Human Resources (Los Angeles).
