pop and electronic.

How do you use Mel·lif·lu·ous in a sentence?

She emitted a low, melodious sound, a kind of mellifluous howl.

Mel·lif·lu·ous, also known as Lara, blends the traditions of classical music with ambient, pop, and electronic textures to create immersive, evocative sound worlds.

Wildroot & Amber

An interactive sonic apothecary​

Tincture of Dissonant Light is the first release from Wildroot & Amber, a five-song collection created during an artist residency in Itoshima, Japan. Blending fragments of memory, handwritten letters, and home videos with field recordings and natural sounds, the songs explore how identity lives in body, voice, and place. These textured compositions create a liminal space where sound carries the nearly-lost. Each piece will be released over time as it is mixed and mastered.
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.

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.
