The work of Barbara Duchow, performing under the artist name LUNATTACK, emerges from a long-term practice in songwriting, performance, and interdisciplinary collaboration. In her practice, voice, composition, and visual language evolve as interconnected elements of the same artistic field.
Her music moves between electro rock, atmospheric sound design, and emotionally driven songwriting, performed with her distinctive mezzo-soprano voice in English, German, and French. Across her work, she develops layered performance formats that shift between intimacy, intensity, and collective experience.
Rather than separating music, staging, and visual presence, Duchow integrates them into unified live expressions shaped through collaboration and evolving artistic exchange.
