Lauren Bousfield
About
Lauren Bousfield is a composer, sound designer, and electronic musician from Oakland, California. She initially became known for her project Nero's Day at Disneyland, which merged breakcore, hyper-pop, and circus-like melodies on densely constructed and chaotic releases.
Her first album, Attention Shoppers, was released in 2005, followed by From Rotting Fantasylands in 2009. Though the project was cancelled in 2011, Bousfield continued to make music independently. She made two albums, one mashup album, and two EPs. In addition to albums and EPs, she released several singles.
The band's last album was the 15-track "From Rotting Fantasylands". Nero's Day at Disneyland then separated for unknown reasons and Lauren came out as transgender, changing her name. Lauren Bousfield started producing music under her own name in 2012 with her first EP Locked Into Phantasy and later on Avalon Vales in 2013.
On September 27, 2016, two months before the Ghost Ship fire, Lauren's apartment caught on fire in Los Angeles and she was later hospitalized, losing all of her belongings. She was given skin grafts on her hands, due to 3rd degree burns, for 2 months. She later recovered in December and made the Fire Songs EP, mourning the loss of the Ghost Ship fire. On December 9, 2016, fans have made a 30 track album of the Heaven's Gate single, found on her previous SoundCloud as Nero's Day at Disneyland, as well as other unreleased songs.
