Drum & Lace - Synths & Vocals
Drum & Lace is an Italian composer, sound artist and performer that writes music for film and media. Raised in Florence, Italy she received her Undergraduate Degree from Berklee College of Music (Film Scoring & Composition) and a Masters Degree (Music Technology & Composition) from New York University.
Inspired by interesting sounds and cinematic elements, Drum & Lace melds together sampled field recordings and lush layers of synths to create densely textural and beat-heavy music, greatly drawing from film music, music concrete and modern electronica. Her ambient and chamber work also gathers great inspiration from nature and natural sound, as well as the juxtaposition of unlikely sounds with one another.
Her composition work includes writing for film, tv, dance, theater, fashion and advertising.
Feature-length film scoring credits include fashion documentary "The First Monday in May" (dir Andrew Rossi), HBO documentary "At The Heart of Gold- Inside the USA Gymnastics Scandal" (dir. Erin Lee Carr), and upcoming crime doc "The Penny Black" (dir William Saunders). Television credits include AppleTV+ Original Series "Dickinson" (created by Alena Smith) and season 3 of NBC “Good Girls” (created by Jenna Bans & Bill Krebs).
Notable other composition projects include music for NARS, Always, Tanya Taylor, Girls Who Code, Squarespace as well as theatre company Saudade Theatre and dance company Heidi Duckler.
Drum & Lace's performances often include installation and spatial audio elements, at events such as The Echo Society VI: Family, Pink Privacy at Pulse Art Fair 2018 / Art Basel Miami Beach, a quadraphonic interactive performance at Los Angeles Central Library's Taper Auditorium with Suzanne Ciani, Moogfest 2019 and 'semi songs' Live LA.
In 2019, Drum & Lace released chamber-electronic record 'semi songs' and the soundtrack to ‘Dickinson’ (Milan Records), and is currently working on new music for release in 2020.
