Every now and then, an artist steps onto the scene who doesn’t just make music—they shape experiences. That’s exactly what LuciDream is doing. Born in Germany and based in Australia, Lucia, the multi-dimensional force behind the name, has been quietly crafting a sound that’s as expansive as it is introspective.
With a background in classical piano and a journey through DJing, live performance, and self-taught production, LuciDream isn’t just creating tracks—she’s building immersive emotional worlds.
SONIC ALCHEMY: BLENDING CINEMATIC DEPTH WITH ELECTRONIC ENERGY
LuciDream’s style is anything but conventional. Her music bridges the emotional textures of cinematic scores with the kinetic drive of electronic dance music. But beyond the sound, it’s the soul of her work that stands out. Themes of freedom, spiritual awakening, and emotional resilience pulse through every beat and melody. Each track feels like a personal reflection—raw, alive, and deeply felt. “Melody bypasses the mind and speaks straight to the heart and soul,” she says, and you believe her the second you hear her play.
A VISION THAT SEES BEYOND SOUND
For LuciDream, music is just one layer. Her artistry stretches far into the visual realm, where every song becomes an experience. Her film project Diving for Light is a testament to that vision—melding underwater visuals, story, and sound into a moving piece of art. From hand-crafted music videos to immersive website experiences, she’s not just releasing singles; she’s building a cinematic universe. “Each song is more than sound—it’s a portal,” she explains, and in her hands, it becomes exactly that.
LIVE MOMENTS AND LESSONS IN TRUST
Though her studio is her sanctuary, LuciDream’s live sets reveal another side of her creativity. From TranceNdance in Tasmania to the electrifying stages of Elements and Mushroom Valley Festival, her performances are moments of shared transformation. One of her most unforgettable shows involved performing on a rain-slicked stage with a contortionist beside her, rain falling like snowflakes. It could’ve been chaos—but instead, it became a turning point. “If you show up fully, something beautiful will unfold,” she reflects. That mindset pulses through her artistry.
LOOKING AHEAD: COLLABORATION AND CREATIVE EXPANSION
Up to now, LuciDream has been fiercely independent—self-producing, shaping her sound with care, and staying true to her vision. But now, she’s opening the door to collaboration, not just with musicians, but with filmmakers, choreographers, and multidimensional creatives. Her future isn’t just about albums—it’s about conceptual live shows, immersive films, and multi-sensory experiences that take listeners on inner journeys.
CONCLUSION
LuciDream isn’t here to fit into a genre or chase a trend. She’s here to transmit truth through frequency, to create space for feeling, and to remind us of our own depth. For anyone who's ever needed music not just as entertainment but as emotional navigation— her sound is something you’ll want to lean into. As she says, “Our sensitivity isn’t a weakness, it’s the doorway to our magic.” And in LuciDream’s world, that magic is just beginning.

When four high school friends from Wollongong attended a music camp in 2022, they didn’t realize they were setting the foundation for one of the region's most exciting indie- psych outfits. That’s how Cytosis was born—Hector (vocals/guitar), Miles (bass/keys), Brinley (guitar), and Jayden (drums/backing vocals) transformed shared curiosity into serious sonic intent.
Some bands follow trends. Others, like Pimenta Caseira, build time machines. The Lisbon- based trio — Fred (a.k.a. Bera), Gui Salgueiro, and their occasional sax-sorcerer Zé Maria — are not just making music; they’re sculpting a new type of funk that’s as analog as it is intergalactic.
