COMPOSER AND PERFOMER
Lisa Lerkenfeldt is a composer and performer based in Melbourne. Her gently glitched piano recitals span genres and melt time. Primarily using the piano, analogue tape systems and contemporary digital software she blends tradition and experimentation. Drawing from lineages of musique concrète, minimalism and modern composition, she seeks out altered tonalities with contemporary resonance and the beauty of restraint. Her trance-like attention to detail and explorations in timbre and improvisation inform a tactile elegance. In 2020 she joined the roster of French imprint Shelter Press with her debut EP A Liquor Of Daisies and LP Collagen. With Water Up To Her Knees—an electroacoustic work and film—premiered at The Substation, Melbourne in 2022. Following national tours of Australia and Japan, in 2024 she was a composer in residence at INA GRM, Paris. On June 7, 2024 she premiered the multichannel work In The Window Of Time at Le Centquatre commissioned by INA GRM.
