Artist, musician and composer
Lisa Lerkenfeldt is an Australian composer and performer. Her endless piano and tape loop variations dissolve time through collages of decayed ambience, analogue manipulation and cyclic structure. Informed by the lineage of 20th century piano composition, musique concrète and experiments in spatial audio, she has been working with extended durations, instrumental and electroacoustic techniques since her debut ‘A Liquor Of Daisies’ on Shelter Press in 2020.
Lisa writes music for the everyday that operates in a space between rehearsal and recital and between home and stage. She has performed at major museums, concert halls, art spaces and listening rooms in Australia, Europe, UK and Japan and has collaborated with artists, musicians, filmmakers and designers. Her work has featured at INA-GRM, Frieze London, The National Gallery of Victoria, Hamer Hall and Melbourne Fashion Week. Following two LPs on Shelter Press (France), national tours of Australia and Japan, and residencies in Paris and Melbourne, she is currently writing and recording in 2025.
"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.”
