Lucrecia Dalt is a Colombian experimental musician who currently resides in Berlin.[1] While her earlier releases were rooted in electronic dance music, her work has evolved over time to become more overtly abstract and experimental.[2]

Biography

Dalt was born in Pereira, Colombia. She studied civil engineering and worked for two years in a geotechnical company in Medellin before deciding to pursue music.[3]

Her first recordings were released by Colombian collective Series under the name Lucrecia.[4] After meeting Gudrun Gut, she contributed four songs to the 4 Women No Cry compilation released on Monika Enterprise in 2008.[5]

After moving to Europe, she released a series of recordings, including a release on Nicolás Jaar's Other People imprint and a series of collaborations with Aaron Dilloway.[6] Among her more recent releases are the albums Anticlines[7][8] (2018), No Era Sólida[9] (2020) and ¡Ay! (2022)[10][11] on RVNG Intl.

In 2022, Dalt announced her debut film score for The Seed, a sci-film directed by Sam Walker.[12]

British music magazine The Wire named ¡Ay! record of the year 2022.[13]
