Laszlo Umbreit

Laszlo Umbreit is a Belgian sound designer and musician, born in 1986 and based in Brussels. His music combines improvisation on electronic instruments with field recordings, shaped through long sessions of editing and mixing, and much of his work is tied to film and the moving image. Umbreit did the sound design for Guy-Marc Hinant's documentary Charleroi, le pays aux 60 montagnes (2018). His album Pas de regrets (Sub Rosa, 2023) draws on field recordings made around Sevry and Charleroi in the summers of 2013 and 2017, with trumpet by Jean-Baptiste Merveille on one piece.
