Born in 1986, Liliane Chlela is a graphic design formed multidisciplinary artist living and working in Beirut.
Musician / Composer / DJ perceiving music from an avant-garde approach; Liliane's singularity is eminent through her unusual sound treatment, complemented with distinct experimental hardware techniques and composition tools used in her live improvised performances and productions. Her music is an experiment of sounds, speeches, beats and melodies produced through a rare amalgam of instruments, hardware and gears.

Co-founder of hezbel taleta- a collective project united every tuesday for an improvised post rock session- Liliane has had many collaborations with several artists in various fields (music, fashion, visual art...)

Her latest collective: The DnB project; a live and improvised Drum'n bass trio including Fouad Afra and Bashar Farran, is a newly born concept triad consisting of a rare combination of electro-acoustic drum'n bass improvisation.
Intrigued by the interconnection of improvised music, image and movement, Liliane produces music for short films, and elaborates her inquiry by a recent collaboration with the contemporary dancer Clara Sfeir entitled "Euphonic discordance". The performance is based on both improvised contemporary dance and electroacoustic music, and explores the extents of both disciplines responding live to each other.
