Lucrecia Dalt (born 20 December 1980)[1] is a Colombian experimental musician who currently resides in New Mexico.[2] While her earlier releases were rooted in electronic dance music, her work has evolved over time to become more overtly abstract and experimental.[3]

Biography

Dalt was born in Pereira, Colombia.[1] She studied civil engineering and worked for two years in a geotechnical company in Medellín before deciding to pursue music.[4]

Her first recordings were released by Colombian collective Series under the name Lucrecia.[1] After meeting Gudrun Gut, she contributed four songs to the 4 Women No Cry compilation released on Monika Enterprise in 2008.[5]

After moving to Europe, she released a series of recordings, including a release on Nicolás Jaar's Other People imprint and a series of collaborations with Aaron Dilloway.[6] Among her more recent releases are the albums Anticlines (2018),[7][8] No Era Sólida (2020),[9] and ¡Ay! (2022),[10][11] on RVNG Intl.

In 2022, Dalt announced her debut film score for The Seed, a sci-fi horror film directed by Sam Walker.[12]

British music magazine The Wire named ¡Ay! record of the year 2022.[13]

Dalt released her seventh studio album, A Danger to Ourselves, as Lucrecia Dalt on 5 September 2025.[14]
