DAOU

Daou is the music project of Paris-based architect, musician, analog photographer and multidisciplinary artist Georges Daou. Born in Beirut, he moved to New York in 2014, where he honed his guitar skills at the hands of renowned jazz guitarist Dom Minasi, all the while working as an architect and pursuing various artistic projects and collaborations. Daou's collage and photography work has been exhibited in Beirut, London, Washington and New York. His 3D art has been published in leading 3D magazines and websites.

Daou moved to Paris in 2018, and soon thereafter began working in earnest on his first album, entitled “Subliminal”. A guitarist by trade and tape enthusiast from an early age, he began experimenting with tape loops, synths and field recordings alongside his trusted guitar and effect pedals. These experiments yielded immersive ambient soundscapes and drones, which he would often color with lo-fi textures and sonic artefacts generated by acoustic instruments and found objects. His music has been released on labels such as ROHS!, Ruptured and Owl Encounter.
