Polarcoaster

Polarcoaster is the musical alter ego of multidisciplinary artist Lilly Schwartz known primarily for
her documentary and street photography, as well as her YouTube channel that documents all
her artistic endeavours, which most notably include photography, music, illustration and building
electronic musical instruments. Her photography was shown in solo exhibitions in Germany and
Spain, as well as group exhibitions in Germany, Spain, the US and Argentina.
The project Polarcoaster provides the soundtrack for all her other artistic explorations and
focuses on experimental and (dark) ambient compositions. Her albums Endless Nights (2022)
and hypnagogia (2024) offer musical journeys full of sonic textures and melodic sparkles,
somewhere between ambient and dark ambient, sometimes lush and beautiful, other times alien
and vaguely threatening.
With her newest release dreams long forgotten (Nov 28, 2025) she explores melancholic
memories of distant times long ago when our futures still looked bright and we could imagine
ourselves as explorers of oceans, jungles and swamps on alien planets far away. Wistful
melodies combine with field recordings into wondrous atmospheres that serve as a portal into a
world where our dreams still held promise and strange miracles still seemed to lurk behind every
corner.
