About

Over 30 releases since 2001, limited edition cassettes and CDr albums, experimental electronic soundscapes.

Tbc, led by German artist Thomas Beck, has developed a diverse catalog of electronic music since 2001, including vinyl, CD, CDr, and cassette formats. The project explores ambient, noise, drone, and electroacoustic sounds with meticulous attention to texture and spatial sound design. Releases such as "Passhöhe" (2022), "Glashaus" (2023), and the limited edition cassette "Verweigerung" (2025) illustrate this trajectory.

Although predominantly released on independent labels like Wachsender Prozess and the self-released "Not On Label," Tbc's work is noted for its experimental approach to sound art, often venturing into tribal and industrial influences. The catalog includes over 200 releases across various formats, though vinyl editions remain relatively rare.
