My formal training in Germany was originally in Drawing and Philosophy, and throughout my studies I found myself falling outside, or in between, traditional categories of artistic practice. I have always sought out and developed creative partnerships with musicians, performers, writers and people from various contexts, and have experienced how many forms may emerge through these collaborations. The works have been variously termed new media, interdisciplinary, emerging genres, integrated media practices or ‘hybrid forms.’ I am interested in encouraging a dialectic relation between diverse media in order to challenge the limits of spectatorship and the divide between art and music and the everyday.

I co-direct the Noiseborder Multimedia Performance Lab with composer and multimedia artist Brent Lee. As co-founders of the Noiseborder Ensemble, we have been exploring exploring artistic and technical complexities in multimedia performance. The ensemble includes Brent Lee, Sigi Torinus, Nicholas Papador, Trevor Pittman, Megumi Masaki, and Chris McNamara. The ensemble has performed at various festivals and venues, including ClarinetFest Oostende, Belgium (2018); Chetham’s International Piano Festival, England (2018); the Festival des Musiques de Création in Jonquière, Quebec (2015); Beyond The Keys, Laban Theatre, London UK (2015); Bangor University, Wales (2015); the Ottawa Chamber Music Festival (2013); the Sonorities Festival in Belfast (2013)..
