Shakeeb Abu Hamdan is a Lebanese-British musician and visual artist based in Paris.

His sound-based work spans performance, experimental composition and sound for film. 
In his live performances he uses drums, bells and cymbals, which he augments and amplifies with surface transducers, microphones, pitch and rhythmic modulation effects, modified megaphones, and other electronic devices. His performances develop through open structures, leaving room for generative accidents and improvisation, playing on the instabilities of feedback and the unpredictable interactions of his instrumental system.

His visual work consists of systems of drawings, found illustrations and texts that relate to the construction of historical narrative. His publications and print/drawing installations occupy a space somewhere between contemporary art and experimental comics. 

He has presented his work and performed at the Beirut Art Centre, Cité International des Arts (Paris), Real No Real Festival (Madrid), GMEA (Albi), Fylkingen (Stockholm), Les Instants Chavirés (Montreuil), and Cafe OTO (London).
