Mel·lif·lu·ous (AKA Lara) defies musical conventions, blending classical, pop, and electronic influences to create to craft a sound that’s uniquely hers.

In the frozen quiet of an old fish factory in a tiny Icelandic town, I composed and recorded Spákonufell—named for the mountain that greeted me each morning. That time, that place, and the extraordinary people I met shaped not only the music but the spirit of the album. It gave me the space to be fully myself. Completely.

Wildroot & Amber
An interactive sonic apothecary

A Music Residency in Japan May 1 - June 30, 2025

A sensory sound project that transforms memory into music using everyday objects as instruments. Blending violin, voice, and electronics with the Playtronica controller, it turns relics like photographs, leaves, and letters into touch-activated soundscapes. Part ritual, part performance, it’s an intimate exploration of memory, what we preserve, and how we listen across time.

The Albums

Spákonufell

Born from a music residency in Skagaströnd, Iceland, Spákonufell is an album shaped by solitude and landscape. Composed in the stark, icy stillness of an abandoned fish factory beneath a towering mountain, its sound reflects the haunting beauty and quiet grandeur of the North.

Violin & Voice – The Heartbeat
My violin and voice are at the center of everything—tools for storytelling and melody. I weave memory and place into textural compositions.
Push 3 – The Looping Brain
Push 3 and Ableton Live serve as my creative engine. I use them to loop and layer violin, vocals, and ambient textures in real-time. It's where improvisation and structure meet.
Microcosm – The Texture Shaper
The Microcosm pedal is my texture machine—reshaping violin and voice into dreamy delays, granular fragments, and lush soundscapes. It adds a layer of unpredictability and depth, making every loop feel alive.

Playtronica – Sound You Can Touch
I use the Playtron MIDI Controller to invite interaction—audience members trigger sounds by touching objects connected to Playtron. It turns objects into instruments.
