about

GR018:

LAPIS’ sense of sound and expression in music is informed by a deep inner world which seems to be in constant motion. Born in a pastoral cottage bathtub under a bright moon in rural New Zealand, to two Germans who fled the heavy air, and structures, of their own upbringing and landed in Aotearoa; alongside a tentful of Sufis, backgammon players, musicians and experimental expats, LAPIS was exposed to a large variety of cultural experiences from childhood.
The exposure to, and synthesis of many ideas, perspectives, and over time, identities often shows itself in the music as an intricate, or sometimes abrupt change in tempo or style.

This project is a collection of items created between 2013 and 2018 and was recently compiled with the intention of breaking some of the habits that many creatives undoubtedly can relate to: the stifling of creative expression and the sharing of creative play and its produce - because of the desire for perfection and a fear of judgement based on self-identification with the work.

All sales from the BEATTAPE are going to The Grow Room; allowing us to support a growing network of local artists by helping them produce and showcase their work, spreading it to a wider audience.
