バイオグラフィ

  • As a child, when Tobias Hjørnet Pedersen discovered that everything has a sound, he became obsessed with rhythms and the tones of different materials. As a result of this youthful discovery Pedersen decided to pick up the drums...
    ...Several years later he joined a Reggae and Ska band in his hometown, and over the years developed a taste for mixing genres that wouldn’t necessarily fit seamlessly together in the first or second try but nonetheless would end up blending. This urge to fuse elements from different musical periods and styles has been the key drive in the creation of the Beastie Respond moniker. The development of Beastie Respond’s sound started in the upper secondary school, though it wasn’t until four years later he came up with something he was confident showing to a larger audience. Beastie Respond signed with the Danish label Teal Recordings in 2010, which released his debut EP in the summer of 2011, followed by another two EPs and his debut album “Fictitious Nostalgia” in 2013. Releasing one’s debut album is a milestone for any artist, and from there on Beastie Respond spent the following years redeveloping his sound again. 2016 brought the release of the EP ‘Back to the Future’ on RDG’s Circle Vision imprint. The EP took Pedersen’s taste for high intensity melodic synth music into a more modern realm. With a persistent reluctance to stay in the same place for too long as well as a compulsive disengagement with the genres that tread water, Beastie Respond started working on his sophomore album in late 2015, and is now ready to present it publicly. The album ‘Information City’ will be released on the young Berlinbased label Foul-Up. With the album, Pedersen reflects on an increasingly digitized society and what it is doing to us as citizens and humans, for better and for worse.
