Performing as Lisa Pulsatilla, Berlin-born flutist, electronic musician, and researcher Lisa Teichmann creates immersive soundscapes where the breath becomes both medium and message. Now based in Montréal, she merges the acoustic intimacy of the flute with hardware-driven electronic processing to explore themes of trauma, emotion, and vibrational healing. Her solo performances use a carefully constructed pedalboard—originally built for other instruments but adapted to preserve the natural resonance of the flute. Through live layering, delay, modulation, and stereo imaging, she expands the instrument’s monophonic limits to build rich, evolving textures where melody, drone, and harmony intertwine. Active in both academic and artistic spheres, Teichmann is a postdoctoral researcher at the Université de Montréal’s CRIHN, and has contributed sound work to George Fok’s Seeking Stillness (PHI, 2020), Sarah Seené’s documentary Portrait de Pierre Bourgault, and Guillaume Vallée’s short film are you haunted, daddy?. She is also part of the ShyGirls collective, Goodsine, and LoSignal (CKUT 90.3 FM), with releases on Sound as Language, DMT Records, and others.

Breath becomes architecture in Lisa Pulsatilla’s solo set for flute and electronics. With a custom pedalboard, she transforms the flute’s voice into lush, polyphonic textures—layering melody, drone, and harmony in real time. A rare convergence of acoustic intimacy and hardware precision, sculpted live from breath, signal, and emotion.
