In the piece “Messenger” for String-piano - an instrument/installation of her invention -, nylon strings are attached to an upright piano strings and to the pianist’s costume.
She seeks to extend the expressive potentials of music through visual and theatrical elements, the use of objects/installations, randomized operations and electronics.
