Juliane Schmitt is an artist, a graphic designer, a sad pop producer and troubadour based in Brussels and Offenbach.
Her artistic practice includes experimental music, performance and graphic design and is characterized by an interest in theatricality, persona, transformation and narration.
***
A hopeless romantic, she writes music for her solo project and takes her role as a modern troubadour seriously. Her songs are characterized by profound sentimentality, interweaving stringent rhythms with minimalist synthesizer sounds and echoed vocals.

Are you giving your friends too much discount on your work? Can you imagine working with your (love) partner? We need more transparency on issues that are not usually talked about. The confidential space under the blanket encourages questions about the price and value of our work, both in terms of social approval and hard cash, about failed projects, tips and tricks of the trade and successful strategies for collaborating with others
