Abadilé (Pr: ah-bah-dee-lay) is the new music and mixed-media project from producer and author TJ Armand. Conceived as a multidisciplinary exploration of words, sounds, and rhythms from across the globe, Abadilé also functions as a performance art project. Sound and video installations are built around Armand's poetry while the songs utilize a large palette of samples and sounds. AI tools are also utilized to generate video imagery.
At its core, Abadilé pioneers the genre GloBeats™ — a term coined by Armand to describe an original sound that fuses electronica with global influences, including Turkish and other Middle Eastern traditions, layered with experimental textures.
The debut single, “By All Means” (available on all platforms), introduces this vision with a pulsing electronic backdrop, freestyle vocals, and diverse percussion instruments drawn from cultures around the world.
