Jasmijn Lootens is a Belgian cellist, composer, researcher, and musicologist. 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.
Lootens develops interdisciplinary projects that echo across sonic, visual, and conceptual fields. She co-founded the collectives Studio Radiaal and The Concrete Vinyl Corporation, and performs with ensembles including bODEM, Nemø ensemble, and Zefiro Torna. She has worked closely with artists such as Joachim Badenhorst, Elisabeth Klinck, Clara Levy, and has taken part in projects with Angles, Nadar ensemble, and Fire! Orchestra—collaborations that reflect her ongoing interest in shifting roles, 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.
She released Anger’s Family Tree (W.E.R.F. Records) as part of the trio MARIS x Haerens x Lootens, presented during a JazzLab tour. Currently, Jasmijn is pursuing a doctorate in the arts at LUCA School of Arts / KU Leuven and docARTES / Orpheus JInstitute in Ghent, focusing on the figure of the hybrid artist within interdisciplinary contexts.
Based in Ghent, Belgium
