Laura Zöschg (1997) is a musician and composer working in the field of improvised and experimental music, originally from a little village in South Tyrol, Italy, and now based in Copenhagen. Her means of expression are the various colors and sounds of her voice, and for specific projects also the piano, the organ, the flute, electronics and movement. Laura is performing concerts all over Europe with different bands and projects mainly based in Denmark, for example Blaume, mimicri, and her solo project LOA, Yii and Undercurrent.
Her most recent releases include Blaume’s debut EP “excess air”, an improvised solo EP on church organ entitled “sem”, and a feature on the album “I Can Feel My Dreams” by sound artist Damian Dalla Torre(IT/DE).
During the past few years, Laura has been working and performing with artists like Kit Downes, Damian Dalla Torre, Calum Builder, Delphine Joussein, Sarvin Asa, Sámuel Baló, João Gato, Declan Forde, Elvira Skovgaard Skovsang, Ewoud van Eetvelde, and PJ Fossum.
Since 2022, she is part of CRRNT Collective, with which she organizes concerts and festivals for experimental non-commercial music in Copenhagen.
Laura graduated with honors from her Bachelor’s studies “Jazz Vocals” at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, Austria, in 2020, and two years later, she concluded her Master’s Studies “Rhythmic Musician” at Det Jyske Musikkonservatorium in Aarhus, Denmark.
“Blaume’s excess air is a wonderfully lively EP. It is music that has the
energy to stretch far beyond a simple and obvious starting point, and with
just a few simple devices, Blaume’s debut is a welcome harbinger of
spring.”
“The incredibly wide range of sounds emitted by Zöschg’s voice was complemented by muffled violins, guitar preparations and synthesizers, interspersed here and there with the sound of a sole shuffling or the rolling of a metal lid from something. Everything synergistically permeated the entire space, it moved closer and further away, creating a kind of fantastically simulated natural temple pulsating with the animality of unknown creatures. Breathtaking.”
“The style is pure, authentic and piercing – almost to the point of madness.
