COMPOSER AND PERFORMER
Lisa Lerkenfeldt is an artist, composer and performer based in Melbourne.
Her palette of time-dusted tape loops, paired back piano and slow dances of static noise are littered with textural ambience.
Drawing from the lineage of 20th century piano composition, musique concrète and experiments in spatial audio, her music poses a delicate intervention in the history of works for piano and tape.
Her compositions are intentionally open, welcoming endless variation and multiple readings.
Her timely and tactile approach to musical form draws on practices of improvisation and collage.
Her affinity with analogue machines begins with a commitment to sustainability and ignites with their contemporary potential.
She writes music for the everyday that operates in a space between rehearsal and recital and translates from home to stage.
Lisa has performed at major museums, concert halls, art spaces, listening rooms and private dinners in Australia, Europe and Japan.
She has collaborated with artists, musicians, filmmakers, software designers and augmented reality specialists.
Her work has featured in Offprint Paris, INA-GRM, Hammer Hall, The National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery Of NSW, Gertrude Contemporary and Melbourne Fashion Week.
Following two LPs on Shelter Press (France), national tours of Australia and Japan, residencies in Paris and Melbourne, she is presently recording a new album.
