LYRS

Drawing on their respective backgrounds, Ivan Arlaud – visual artist and musician – and Hugo Ventron – label manager and musician – founded LYRS in 2023. In the intimacy of their studio, they create an organic sound that is both ecstatic and hushed. Initially inspired by club music, the duo gradually moved away from it to find in ‘l(a)y(e)rs’ an artisanal approach to composition, fusing analogue synthesizers, drum machines, modular synthesis, guitars and effects processors. The result is a hybrid sound that’s both dreamlike and effervescent.
