t w i l a . t o o is a Belgian singer, songwriter and composer. She lives in Cologne since 2001, where she quickly took her place in the electronic scene. Involved in many projects for labels as Ware, Ministry Of Sound, Serve & Destroy and BMG she put her voice on different shades of music, from house to downbeat, electro-clash or d'n'b. In her collaborations, we can count the names of Air Liquide, Bob Humid, Decomposed Subsonic, Featherweight, Hendrik Meyer, Ernest Drake & Twinpath. Her own full-length debut-album Crossed Lines which you now hold in your hands represents twila.too's very personal and intimate view on song-based electronic music.
twila.too did always put importance and pleasure in playing live. She has experienced the stage-performance many times during the last years, mainly exploring electronic music and further back, indie-rock. in 2001 / 2002, she performed along with Bob Humid on his album-tour for the very highly ac-claimed "twisted repairs / despairs" albums on Serve & Destroy. Together they performed live-sets at WMF, Sensor, Mobilat, Golden Pudel, Liquid Sky (Sichtbar), Unique, Distillery and on countless other parties in Germany´s suburbia. With sensitiveness and magic, twila.too knows her stuff and is an experienced guide in leading the listeners through a deep universe of atmospherical beauty, hope & despair.
C R O S S E D L I N E S is the name of twila.too's highly tweaked debut-album that you now hold in your hands. Here the term "crossed lines" serves as a description for the general struggle of human commu-nication by using the double meaning of a technical description borrowed from radio technology. Sometimes our language interferes like complex airwaves. Words and meanings cross-modulate at a twisted stage leading to distortion of meaning and misunderstandings. The answer is always between the lines...
This album was recorded, edited and produced over a period of more then 6 years with a great sense for detail and with upmost dedication. Bob Humid, who recorded, produced and engineered most of the tracks of the album, did a highly sophisticated job to preserve twila.too's original compositions while shaping them into a modern form, drawing lines between futuristic, modern and established electronical styles and her melancholic songwriting. With Numinos and Leschet & Wilde twila.too could win two additional respected production forces from Cologne's well-developed electronic music underground that add an even different deep touch on the production. There is definetly something in Cologne's water-system.
