Biography

Georgian Anushka Chkheidze, born in 1997, is one of the most promising talents far beyond the country’s borders.
Growing up in the small village of Kharagauli, she began singing in a choir at the age of 11. She herself describes the time she spent there as magical and believes that her music is strongly influenced by those childhood years.

In January 2019, Anushka Chkheidze released her first tracks on the compilation “Sleepers Poets Scientists” curated by Natalie Beridze, followed by her debut album “Halfie” in April 2020.
The second album “Move 20-21”, released in February 2021, was created during the pandemic and addresses the absence of physical movement and interaction with other people.
“Lost Luggage” was released in 2023 and deals with an obvious theme that is unfortunately not unknown to most of us.
The album “Clean, Clear and White” followed in May 2024, for which Anuska Chkheidze conducted field recordings as well as piano and choir recordings in the newly renovated research center in Basel, Switzerland.
She is invited to international cross-genre festivals and frequently collaborates with choirs, which led to a commission from the Swiss-Georgian festival Close Encounters for the highly acclaimed Gori Women’s Choir in Georgia.

Anushka Chkheidze has already collaborated several times with the Berlin musician Robert Lippok, one of her main mentors, and is currently preparing their first joint release.

“With the release of her second album Move 20-21, the Georgian experimental producer shows her truest self by enlisting the help of her creative peers to make a stunning visual album.”

“A portrait of Tbilisi coming to life, captured in one joyful music video.

“Lingotto”, the latest track from Georgian talent Anushka Chkheidze, takes its name from a district in Turin. Its video, however, directed by Anna Sarukhanova, is a sincere love letter to the bustling beat of Tbilisi, the comfort of human interactions (however big or small), and the reassuring busyness of city life before lockdown.”

“…And right after Nadine you will meet the Georgian composer and producer Anushka Chkheidze, whose experimental electronic music is of high accessibility, due to the engaging combination of striking beat patterns, spherical pads and lots of crystal-pop melodies.
Anushka participated together with nine other musicians from all over the world in this years Goethe Talent program at Pop-Kultur festival.
Enjoy our conversations.”

by Thomas VenkerAugust 2022https://kaput-mag.com/catch_en/podcast_nadine-moser_anushka-chkheidze/?fbclid=IwAR1PG8VDxfUqZno6VG5WDFcYDUeAiBBGHXUoXfJeCIn1XClqncPpPaQ5qKQ – Kaput magazine, podcast

“(Her album) “Halfie” is reminiscent of early Warp releases by Seefeel or even Aphex Twin, experimental electronic music of high accessibility, which is due to the engaging combination of striking beat patterns, spherical pads and lots of crystal-pop melodies. For Chkheidze, by the way, “Halfie” is “more than an album,” as she puts it in the liner notes, namely “a precious and fragile persona about to lose its identity.” An avant-garde persona that has a lot in common with its creator in terms of the degree of reflection.”

“Das Cover von „Sleepers. Poets. Scientists“ zeigt die neun Musikerinnen in weißen Kitteln in einem altmodischen, sowjetisch angehauchten Laborraum, umgeben von einem Kabelsalat.

Anushka Chkheidze hat mit ihrem Musikstück „Sleepers. ­Poets. Scientists“ den Titel des Albums vorgegeben. Chkheidze, erst 24 Jahre alt, ist momentan die international bekannteste der neun Musikerinnen. Sie hat während der Pandemie zwei Soloalben veröffentlicht. „Halfie“ war für den IMPALA European Independent Album of the Year Award nominiert.”

The album Clean Clear White combines eight tracks and will be presented in Zurich on April 6. Prior to the release of the LP, Billboard Georgia interviewed Anushka Chkheidze, in which the artist spoke about the history of creating a new musical work.

»Eine Monheim Triennale erstreckt sich jeweils über drei Jahre«, erklärt Kathrin Jentjens, die 2023 Co-Kuratorin des »The-Sound«-Klangkunstfestivals war. In diesem Jahr stünde »The Prequel« an, sozusagen eine »Werkstattausgabe« des Festivals 2025, bei dem »Signature-Artists« erstmals zusammentreffen, die Stadt und ihre Menschen kennenlernen, sich und ihre Musik vorstellen. Den kleinsten Rahmen dafür soll die Villa am See bieten, etwa für Hauskonzerte. Mehr Platz als für 40 Zuhörer*innen gibt es nicht. Wer hierher kommen will, muss sich anmelden. Die Arbeiten der Musiker*innen entstünden nie im luftleeren Raum, sagt Jentjens, sondern mit direktem Bezug zur Stadt.

Anushka Chkheidze arbeite mit einem Laienchor aus Monheim zusammen, es gebe Projekte mit örtlichen Schulen.

Bis jetzt besteht Chkheidzes Diskografie aus drei ganz speziellen Alben. Geplant war keines davon. »Ich denke gar nicht in der Albenstruktur. Ich produziere einzelne Tracks und konzentriere mich darauf. Aber dann gab es jedes Mal einen Moment, in dem sich einen inneren Zusammenhang zwischen verschiedenen Stücken ergab. Daraus wurden dann doch LPs.«

Man merkt dem Album »Clean Clear White« nicht an, dass es sich eigentlich um eine lose Sammlung an Stücken handelt, ganz im Gegenteil: Die acht Stücke entwickeln eine fulminante Sogwirkung, sind experimentell, aber intuitiv, offenbaren einen Blick in das bereits reife Wirken von Anushka Chkheidze. »Die LP zeigt, was ich alles ausprobieren möchte in meiner musikalischen Karriere.« Wir sind sehr gespannt.

Im Januar 2019 veröffentlichte sie erste Tracks auf der von Natalie Beridze kuratierten Compilation „Sleepers Poets Scientists“, gefolgt von ihrem Debütalbum „Halfie“ im April 2020. Ihr zweites Album „Move 20-21“, was im Februar 2021 released wurde, entstand während der Pandemie und thematisiert die Abwesenheit von körperlicher Bewegung und Interaktion mit anderen Menschen. Unmittelbar nach einer Residenz in Berlin im Rahmen des Goethe Talents-Programm und in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Popkultur Festival 2022 begann sie ihr zweijähriges Master of Music Design-Programm an der HKU in Utrecht, wo sie heute lebt und arbeitet.

Anushka Chkheidze arbeitet weiterhin mit Chören zusammen, was 2021 zu einem Kompositionsauftrag des schweizerisch-georgischen Festivals Close Encounters für den hoch angesehenen Gori Women’s Choir in Georgien führte. Seit über zehn Jahren bringt das Festival junge und etablierte Musiker:innen aus der Schweiz und Georgien in beiden Ländern zusammen. Im neu renovierten Forschungszentrum Biozentrum der Universität in Basel machte sie letztes Jahr Feldaufnahmen sowie Klavier- und Choraufnahmen für ihr neues Album „Lost Lugagge“, dass letztes Jahr erschienen ist.

Anushka macht Musik, die voll und ganz aus ihrem Herzen spricht. Es ist, als ob sie die Geometrie des Klangs als Basis nimmt und atmosphärische, komplexe und jenseitige Klanglandschaften schafft (wie das tief funkelnde „Move, Move” und das treibende „20-21”), musikalische Kaleidoskope, die alle üblichen physikalischen Regeln ablehnen. Und sie ist erst 23 Jahre alt.

Anushka Chkheidze, the visionary Georgian electronic music artist, has unveiled her latest album, Clean Clear White. This album is a profound exploration of space and sound, born from a unique residency at the University of Basel’s Biozentrum. Alone in the vast, unoccupied space, Anushka was accompanied only by a piano, her voice, and her recording equipment, crafting an immersive soundscape that merges her techno and ambient influences with the building’s distinctive acoustics.

During her two-week sojourn, she meticulously captured field recordings and developed her compositions, integrating these elements with performances by a small choir from the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. The result is an eight-track acoustic journey that transcends traditional musical narratives, inviting listeners to experience the architecture of the Biozentrum through a non-visual form of perception.

Clean Clear White stands out as not just an album but an auditory expedition through hidden spaces and the echoes of Anushka’s introspective artistry. Each track reflects a different location within the building, influenced by its unique spatial acoustics and the invisible stories embedded within its walls.

Alongside Beridze, who is also a teacher at the CES, and the school’s founder Natia Sartiani, there are seven female producers featured who graduated from the school’s Music Production course. One of them is Anushka Chkheidze, who started just two years ago to produce electronic music yet she is one of the most active live performers in Georgia. She grew up in Kharagauli, a village in the Imereti region, playing piano, singing in a choir and dancing in a hip hop group. After moving to Tbilisi to attend university, she felt the need to play music again and eventually enrolled at CES. Apart from learning how to use music software, most important was for her that the teachers believed in her music, encouraging her to express herself and to follow her vision.
