'Darkness is Good', 2016 - Konzert-Installation, dark ambient/experimental + videos
"Bartleby Sinnfonie", 2015, Sound-Video Installation about the short history of Herman Melville.
Ambient, exp, improv, visuals
In this performance, LauraL plays improvisations and tracks inspired by the character Bartleby, of Herman Melville. Besides the 'absurdist' characteristic granted to Melville's text ("Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street"), for this concert Laura also uses concepts of artists such as La Monte Young, John Cage and the obscure playwright Qorpo-Santo, considered the precursor of the theatre of the absurd in Brazil.
"Violão _ Konzert-Installation" (2014-Berlin) is a solo-performance with interactive videos where Laura plays acoustic guitar ("violão") + effects + distorted urban sounds.
The project "Musik für Vernissage" (2012-Berlin) was an experiment with ambient music, post-rock, lounge, instrumental, projection of videos and photos, and collaboration of invited musicians.
"Electric dreamcore" (2009/2012) was her first solo concert, that brought together soundtracks made to theatre, dance and movies in Brazil and some studies to guitar and acoustic guitar.
