本名 Eliza Bagg 的洛杉磯實驗音樂音樂家，與紐約愛樂合作的 opera 歌手，與 John Zorn 在歐洲巡迴過，同時也與像是 Ben Frost、Julianna Barwick 等.. 眾多出色的獨立音樂人玩耍；在這些不同狀態的音樂世界切換是他的日常混亂，直到某一天他研究 Auto-Tuned 和延遲效果時發現了可以將這一切結合的方法，在這張容易入耳的實驗專輯中可以聽見文藝復興時期、中世紀歌劇、極微主義等...當代音樂與現時下的流行音樂邏輯巧妙的結合。
Eliza Bagg leads a complex musical life: working as a classical opera singer, she has soloed with the New York Philharmonic, performed in Meredith Monk s opera at the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and toured Europe with the legendary John Zorn. While making her own music under the guise of art-pop solo act Lisel, she was also collaborated as a vocalist with some of the most renowned experimental artists, including Ben Frost, Julianna Barwick, Daniel Wohl, and many others, all while playing indie rock venues and lovably dingy basements. One day, it is Lincoln Center or The Kitchen, the next it is an outdoor LA ambient series. She was always torn between her two worlds, and it was not until she began work on Patterns For Auto-tuned Voices And Delay that she discovered a way to merge them together. Patterns comes out of Bagg s experience as a vocalist singing Renaissance and Baroque music along with the work of modern-day minimalists like Steve Reich and Philip Glass. “I developed a vocal processing system that allowed me to change the idea of what my instrument is,” Bagg says of the album s genesis, a system that combines her virtuosic singing with autotune and delay effects to create a melding of human and machine. Sure, she will admit it. “I am a sci-fi nerd,” she says, with a laugh. “I am a Blade Runner and Battlestar person. I love things that explore how society interacts with machines.” While making Patterns, she dove first into Renaissance polyphony and chant. The music of Hildegard von Bingen, Thomas Tallis, and Carlo Gesualdo is a familiar world to her. Starting with Renaissance and Medieval singing styles and idioms, she added processing and electronic world-building to bring out new, expressive qualities of those styles. From there, she improvised in these styles, fed the performances into Ableton, and incorporated modern day hyperpop (like SOPHIE) and ambient electric sounds and aesthetics. From Philip Glass to Charli XCX, Carl Stone to Grimes, Patterns makes radical connections. Yet, it was important for Bagg to maintain the spiritual origins of these vocal techniques. Patterns For Auto-tuned Voices And Delay stands within those traditions, using voices to transcend the cerebral and overwhelm the listener, all while evoking a unique set of references that span five hundred years.
