Lolina is an electronic and digital musician, also known for her past projects as Inga Copeland. She was a member of the band Hype Williams between 2009 and 2013, collaborating with Dean Blunt on albums, EPs, CD-Rs, videos and performances. During this time she also recorded several solo EPs, with her final album under the Inga Copeland alias, “Because I’m Worth It” (2014), self-released after the split of the band. Her first album as Lolina, Live in Paris, came out as a full-length video in 2016. A departure from traditional release formats, sonically it was defined by a move to digital composition. Lolina’s second album, The Smoke (2018), consolidated the songwriting techniques and musical arrangements of her EPs RELAXIN' with Lolina (2015) and Lolita EP (2017), including the use of presets, lo-fi drums, and half-sung half-spoken vocals. Lolina’s live performances evolved through experiments with DJ equipment. Using CDJ players to loop, scratch and manipulate her existing recordings, she developed an improvisational cut up style exemplified on her third album Live in Geneva (2019). Further trials with playback equipment and software led to the release of Who is experimental music? (2019). Photos by Morag Keil
