Tobias Zaldua is an English musician and filmmaker. His particular interests are the electronic, the acoustic, in found sounds as much as the pre-fabricated. With a love of both pop and the avant-garde,  exploring the emotional resonance in a variety of genres,  he finds value in investigating the songs and ideas until they reveal what they want to be.

 

Brought up in a household without a television his reference points were BBC Radio 4 which was pretty much all speech and drama, and occasionally borrowing the only radio in the house to listen to the chart on Radio 1. When the Electro Street Sounds LP was released in the UK he and his friends would create mix tapes out of speech samples and electro beats using twin tape decks with a third deck for overdubs. Successful sections of these cassettes would be compiled using a razor blade and sellotape.

​

Tobias has been returning to his roots writing for on-line art magazines and composing soundscapes for the multimedia art project “Imaginary Friends In Isolation” and the ongoing project "The AI's Guide To Being Human".
