Jasmijn Lootens is a Belgian cellist, composer, musicologist, and artistic researcher. Her hybrid artistic practice merges acoustic craftsmanship with electroacoustic explorations, media arts, and the phenomenology of listening. Moving between tradition and experimentation, her solo performances combine cello, voice, electronics, and found objects, forming poetic responses to space, silence, and materiality. The many collaborations reflect her ongoing interest in improvisation, co-creation, and artistic dialogue across disciplines.
Her work has been commissioned by institutions such as GMEA – Centre National de Création Musicale (FR) and Concertgebouw Brugge (BE), and has taken shape in the form of performances, installations, and interdisciplinary projects. It has been presented and performed internationally at venues and festivals including Flagey (BE), Wien Modern (AT), Sonic Acts (NL), ZKM (DE), FILE (BR), and the Japan Media Arts Festival. In 2023, she was invited as a guest composer at Elektronmusikstudion (EMS) in Stockholm.
Currently, Jasmijn is pursuing a doctorate in the arts at LUCA School of Arts / KU Leuven and docARTES / Orpheus Institute in Ghent, focusing on the profile of a hybrid artist within interdisciplinary contexts.
“It’s all about the threads that link people, sounds, and our surroundings. I love the little surprises that happen when things touch, overlap, or leak into each other. That permeability is where my work begins to breathe.” (Lootens, 2026)
