TBA

Natalie Beridze, primarily known by the moniker TBA, is a central figure in the Georgian electronic music scene and a key member of the Goslab art collective. Emerging in the early 2000s, her work represents a sophisticated intersection of IDM, glitch, and avant-pop.

Her sound identity is defined by 'microsound' aesthetics, where tiny digital artifacts and rhythmic stutters are organized into emotionally resonant compositions. Beridze's career is marked by significant collaborations with the German electronic label Max Ernst and producer Thomas Brinkmann, which helped bridge the gap between the Tbilisi underground and the European experimental scene. Her music frequently incorporates her own vocals, treated with a minimalist, often whispered delivery that contrasts with the complex, sometimes abrasive digital textures of her production. Critically, she is lauded for her ability to inject 'soul' into the often-sterile world of laptop music, creating a sub-genre often referred to as 'clinically romantic.' Her influence extends through the Georgian electronic diaspora, connecting with peers like Nikakoi and Tusia Beridze (her own name used as an alias), forming a distinct school of thought in post-Soviet experimental music.
