Loopera: A Life in the Margins

Some stories survive not through archives, but through the scenes that carried them.
Active between Belgium, France, and the Netherlands, Liza (1958–2001) was a defining yet often overlooked figure of European electronic and hardcore culture. From classical training to tape experimentation, from New Wave and EBM to rave and hardcore, her trajectory unfolded within underground networks where sound, community, and radical independence were inseparable. Her death in 2001 marked the end of an era, and a particular way of living electronic music.

Loopera is a fanzine dedicated to preserving that legacy. Bringing together texts by Claudia Attimonelli, Riccardo Balli, and Jan Hartungen, the publication traces Liza’s role within the French and Dutch underground, her collaborations with artists such as Dano, Manu le Malin, Laurent Ho, and DJ Pure, and the creation of her label Provision.

The event will mark the launch of Loopera at Le Grand Jeu. An opportunity to present the fanzine, revisit the figure of Liza, and trace her role within European electronic and hardcore culture. The evening will also include a screening of a video connected to the fanzine, offering an audiovisual complement to the publication.
