Berlin-based German-Bulgariancomposer, singer, pianist and vintage synth devotee Lisa Morgenstern first came to significant public attention with the self-release in 2019 of Chameleon. Produced by Sebastian Plano, it was a collection of spine-tingling grace and wonder in which her multiple-octave-spanning voice soared above bewitchingly atmospheric piano and synth lines. In its wake, her flourishing reputation - fueled by compelling concerts in which her arms are often stretched either side of her as she plays multiple instruments while singing - led to performances across Europe with artists including Ólafur Arnalds and Max Cooper, as well as at festivals and prestigious venues, from Iceland Airwaves at the National Theatre Reykjavik to the Reeperbahn Festival at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg.

Morgenstern has simultaneously made a name for herself with the variety of her collaborations. In 2021, she was hired to co-compose the score to Netflix’s priority drama series The Empress (2022), and additional studio collaborations with Casper, Balmorhea and Aukai have emerged since Chameleon’s release. Live shows with the renowned women’s Bulgarian Voices Berlin choir and, separately, the Munich Radio Orchestra meanwhile won further acclaim, with both institutions subsequently crucial to Morgenstern’s upcoming album, for which she also wrote the complex arrangements.
