The Artist Behind Lazy Hammock
The handpan represents a natural evolution of Lucie's musical journey, where sound becomes more organic, intuitive and present, creating a deeper connection between artist, instrument and listener. While her previous work centred around recorded music and live performances with her band, her handpan performances invite audiences into an experience that unfolds in the moment through original compositions and spontaneous improvisation.
Live Experiences
Lucie performs at retreats, boutique hotels, luxury venues, cultural programmes, embassy events, conscious festivals, yoga and movement spaces, women's wellbeing events and private immersive experiences. She also offers creative inspiration talks, which can be accompanied by gentle handpan music where appropriate.
