is a Vienna-based composer of electroacoustic and instrumental music, creates sound installations and is active as a laptop musician in the context of free improvisation. Her music is dedicated to the effect of minimal sound changes and demands openness for subtle details. Pure sounds, natural given phenomena and material are the basis of her work, following the characteristics and intrinsic behaviour of sound. An in-depth aspect is the thematisation of listening and the creative process itself. Numerous performances and composition commissions, including Musikprotokoll, Wien Modern, music unlimited, Neue Musik in St. Ruprecht, Ars Electronica, Madrid International Festival of Contemporary Music COMA, CoCArt Music Festival Torun, Ostrava Days Festival, among others.
