lazzaro

lazzaro looks, with uninhibited eyes, at the fertility of daily life, finds, in the intimacies of sound,
forceful voices, the physicality of noise, the breaking and searching for structures - the song." under the name of lazzaro, geraldine vanspauwen hovers on the verge of ambiance and intuitive songwriting to explore the intersections between abstract poetry, raw noise and experimental folk.

‍guided by a lasting love for intimate tape recordings, looping techniques, ethereal voices, tangible textures and detuned universes, she weaves together various compositions and sound worlds with a dream-like allure. she is currently performing solo (tapes, strings, keys, voice) as well as with the bands zemlya (drums, voice) and sergeant (guitar, voice), and hosts a monthly radio show, unburdened bones, on kiosk radio. her first home-recorded ep, the inner land is wide and free, was released digitally and as a limited edition of tapes (2022, bonambi).
