Drum & Lace, aka Sofia degli Alessandri-Hultquist, is an Italian composer, sound artist and performer that writes and creates music for film and media.

Melding together sampled field recordings, chamber instruments and lush layers of synths, she creates densely textural and beat-heavy music, greatly drawing from film music, music concrete and modern electronica. Her ambient and chamber work also gathers great inspiration from nature and natural sound, as well as the juxtaposition of unlikely sounds with one another.

Her feature-length film scoring credits include Netflix film “Night Teeth” (directed by Adam Randall), campy-thriller “Deadly Illusions” (directed by Anna Elizabeth James, Netflix) and upcoming drama ’”Summering” (directed by James Ponsoldt) which will be premiering at Sundance Film Festival 2022. Television credits include AppleTV+ Original Series "Dickinson" (created by Alena Smith), seasons 3 and 4 of NBC “Good Girls” (created by Jenna Bans & Bill Krebs) and “I Know What You Did Last Summer” (created by Sara Goodman) for Amazon Prime Video. 

Drum & Lace’s composition work also branches out to different mediums including dance, theater, and fashion. 

Her performances often include elements of spatial audio and multimedia. Some of these shows include The Echo Society VI: Family (Los Angeles, CA), National Sawdust’s Digital Discovery Festival 2020 (virtual), Quadraphonic Live at LA Central Library's Taper Auditorium with Suzanne Ciani (Los Angeles, CA), and Moogfest 2019 (Durham, NC). 

Her first LP will be released in Spring 2022 on ambient vinyl label Past Inside the Present, and features the London Contemporary Orchestra (LCO) and Valentina Magaletti. 

Drum & Lace is currently based in Los Angeles, CA.
