Artist, composer and performer
Composer and performer Lisa Lerkenfeldt works with contemporary software, a restored century-old acoustic piano and analogue tape loops cut by hand. Drawing on early techniques of musique concrete and her practice of trance-like piano improvisation she experiments with structure and form.
"An endless fever dream of tape looped piano.”
- Boomkat
"Lerkenfeldt's music can feel like the most plangent piano chords from all the most beautiful deep house songs in history, left to flood and decompose."
- Resident Advisor
"Fantastic, aesthetic, immersive. This year's best modern classical ambient daydream.”
- Meditations
"Her work combines traditional instrumentation with experimental techniques, emphasising sound's physicality and cyclical structures. At her residencies in Paris and Melbourne, the latter At The Above, she integrates historical and contemporary influences, working with restored pianos, analogue hardware, and modern technology.”
