Lakiko, cello, voice
Lakiko – aka Lana Kostic – was created in 2016 in the bowels of an EEG-machine in Biel, Switzerland. Using her brainwaves as well as an instruction manual on what to play next, Lakiko created material that seemingly originates beyond the depths of human consciousness – a part of our brain usually buried deep inside. This music – an impression of her musical biography – could not have been more diversified: influences of Bosnian music blend with classical music, breathy pop vocals with contemporary spoken word, driving beats next to nearly endless glissandi-loops, and in between again and again the haunting sound of the cello.
