The live show features Teardo on guitars and electronics accompanied by Stefano Azzolina on viola and Vanessa Cremaschi on violin, all three playing with the film projection in the background, as a tribute to Man Ray (Philadelphia 1890 – Paris 1976), painter, photographer, director and great Dadaist artist.
The concert also includes the contribution, during “L’etoile de mer”, of an orchestra composed by local guitar players who step in on stage to fill the air repeating one chord, C# minor.

He collaborated with Blixa Bargeld (Einsturzende Neubauten’s singer and ex guitarist of Nick Cave’s Bad Seeds) in the production of the LP “Still Similing” and EP “Smile!”; more recently, he composed the original soundtrack for the theatre play “Ballyturk” by Irish playwright Enda Walsh, featuring Cillian Murphy, Joe lally (Fugazi) and Lori Goldston (Nirvana’s cellist). Ballyturk’s soundtrack awarded Teardo the “Best Soundtrack” prize at the Irish Theatre Awards.
