Swedish psy-ambient pioneers Carbon Based Lifeforms are embarking on an expansive transcendental journey — and for the first time in their 30-year history, they are coming to Georgia! The project of Johannes Hedberg and Daniel Segerstad, whose releases on Ultimae Records have long achieved cult status within the genre, is bringing to Tbilisi not simply a concert, but a monumental audiovisual ritual.
At the heart of this musical journey is the 20th anniversary of the iconic album “World of Sleepers” — a work that has long earned its place among the most significant creations in contemporary ambient music. Guests will have a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the hypnotic depths of this legendary record as the duo presents updated, carefully reworked live versions of favorite tracks from “World of Sleepers,” alongside key material from the years that followed, including explorations from their 2023 album “Seeker.”
The significance of the event goes even further: the Tbilisi audience will have the rare privilege of being among the first to hear a completely new, yet-unreleased composition from the duo’s upcoming album. The setlist will bring back timeless anthems that have endured for decades, while also showcasing CBL’s latest explorations into the deepest dimensions of sound.
For collectors of musical artifacts and devoted listeners, there will be a special opportunity to take a piece of this unforgettable journey home. Guests will be able to purchase vinyl editions of CBL albums, as well as limited-edition T-shirts created especially for this tour. In recent years, finding their records has become a true quest for collectors — limited pressings disappear at lightning speed, turning CBL vinyl releases into highly sought-after collectibles.
Carbon Based Lifeforms’ concert in Tbilisi is more than another stop on a tour — it is a unique cultural and sonic event where the mathematical precision of synthesizers dissolves into primordial organic textures. At the point where electronic meditation meets the otherworldly architecture of the soul, the boundary between reality and auditory illusion gradually disappears.
Some concerts remain memories. Others become part of your personal mythology.
On October 15, Tbilisi will become the place where this unforgettable journey begins beyond the boundaries of the conventional concert experience.
