Lauren Gurgiolo is an multimedia designer, instrumentalist, composer with a cultivated and unique perspective on musical craft and performance. Her musical technique and language have been refined from touring internationally as a guitarist with several rock bands (since 2007) including Okkervil River and Erika Wennerstrom/ The Heartless Bastards. During this time she performed on multiple late-night talk shows and films, collaborated with psychedelic legend Roky Erikson and has played the most renowned theaters and festivals in the world.
This high - level of experience complements her multimedia work where she creates projects built from different mediums, infused with technology. These immersive and interactive projects highlight Gurgiolo's creativity and ambition with a refined musicality that is inviting but singular in style. Check out her guitar work here.
Gurgiolo has directed and designed performative installations supported by the City of Austin Cultural Arts Division annually since 2013. Fasinated by mixing mediums in her designs, she has developed her craft with a rotating crew of visual artists, dancers, writers, sculptors animators, and composers.
