Elizabete Balčus



ELIZABETE BALČUS is a Latvian musician and performance artist who creates neo-psychedelic dream pop from surprising, collaged genre juxtapositions that are simultaneously melodic and experimental. She works with a strong visual aesthetic that draws upon modern surrealism, contemporary fashion, and geometric imagery.
Elizabete attended the Latvian Academy of Music to study classical and jazz flute, plus opera vocals at Rome's Santa Cecilia Academy. Anything is permitted in her musical cosmos: looping flute and voice, clicking electro-pop beats, and playing vegetables as a synthesiser, leaving the listener in a blissed-out, trance-like state somewhere between waking and sleeping. Live performances engage the audience with a psychedelic and theatrical situation that is as befuddling as it is mesmerising.
