Tetine

Tetine are a duo composed of Bruno Verner and Eliete Mejorado. They met in 1995 in São Paulo, Brazil. Since then they have created a multitude of sound works from atonal orchestral pieces to electropunk / baile funk / miami bass-driven tunes. They have also made a series of ritualistic performances and have extensively exhibited art films and video throughout Europe and South America. Tetine has a few albums released on different record labels (Slum Dunk Music/Bizarre Music/Soul Jazz Records/Sulphur Records/Mr Bongo).

Formed in 1995 in São Paulo, Brazil by artists Eliete Mejorado and Bruno Verner and infused with a contemporary Brazilian radicalism that pushes the boundaries of a hybrid vocabulary, Tetine have created a multitude of music and performance works from the spoken word to electronica, including ritualistic performances, films and video.

Their debut album Alexander's Grave was released in 1996 on their own label High School Records, leading to the birth of a homonymous performance integrating atonal electronic music and super-8 films over spoken and sung narratives. In 1998 Tetine released their second album Creme - a soundtrack for the dance group UR=HOR led by Brazilian performance artist Adriana Banana. In 1999 their third album Música de Amor (Love Songs) is released on High School Records.

In January 2000, Tetine established themselves in the UK, firstly as resident artists at Queen Mary University in London and put out their fourth album Olha Ela De Novo (Here She is Again) - their last release on High School. Later in 2001, Tetine is signed by avant-garde electronica artist Robin Rimbaud aka Scanner's UK imprint Sulphur Records and released their fifth album entitled Tetine vs Sophie Calle / Samba de Monalisa - an acclaimed electronica project made in collaboration with the French artist Sophie Calle. Very well received in Europe, Samba de Monalisa made its debut performance at the Whitechapel Art Gallery for Tetine: The Politics Of Self Indulgence - an agitational baroque investigation into self-indulgence through a programme of film, video, & live music co-curated by Bruno and Eliete with Ian White.
