Experimental songs – Roberta Lazo Valenzuela

In 2019 I started exploring composition through singing for the first time. In this project, I left the traditional platform of written music to explore a new atmosphere of sound led by vocal textures. This was the birth of a series of voice pieces now published in my debut album “Indoors” (2021). Later came “Music for evenings”(2022), where flutes and self-made instruments are braided with thin voice lines. The same year, I released “Exótic” (2022) an album that was cooking already for some years, in which I openly embraced many influences that had marked my youth and adulthood. This is the first album that explores “the song” both in form and lyrics.

In the development of this musics, improvisation and the use of loops became an important part of the composition process, resulting in a series of sound experiments. A selection of this pieces can now be found in my newest album “Loop atmospheres”.

The live concerts brings together the results of these explorations in a solo performance format.

Concerts

It is a continuum that fluctuates between soundscapes, experimental songs, loop atmospheres, and field recording. A listening experience that submerges the listener into an intimate and delicate ambience.
