Ebe Oke

Ebe Oke is a composer and multimedia artist whose practice spans sound, performance, and visual art. Drawing on patterns from nature, Ebe reveals ecologies beyond human-centered perspectives. Their upbringing on an exotic bird sanctuary in South Georgia (US) informs a body of work that questions belonging, access, and identity.

Largely self-taught, Ebe’s practice has evolved through a bespoke education, including composition lessons with Karlheinz Stockhausen, and mentorships and collaborations with artists such as AA Bronson, Brian Eno, and Laurie Anderson. Ebe’s work has been presented internationally at venues including Tate St Ives, the Serpentine Gallery
in London, The Kitchen and Pioneer Works in New York, Punkt Festival in Norway,
Art Basel in Switzerland, and most recently, Dommune in Tokyo.

Ebe’s debut album, SPECIES, explores themes of identity, healing, and non-human perspectives, featuring processed bird and insect sounds woven with precise programming, string arrangements, and treated vocals. Other works include FIELD, commissioned by AA Bronson, and DOKUMENT #2 a collaborative live record with Laurie Anderson and Brian Eno, released as limited edition vinyl in 2020.

Ebe collaborates with the tech startup Wavepaths, which integrates generative music into psychedelic psychotherapy, and is currently a composer in residence at EMS in Stockholm.
