Her music is performed in many prestigious festivals in Europe and in the US.

She has been composer in residence at Casa de Velasquez (Madrid) and at Villa Medici (Académie de France à Rome).

Her work focuses on how the evolution and/or the permanence of the instrumental acoustic world affects the development of music composition’s deep structures (form and formal strategies, harmony, time-writing approches).

Her work focuses on how music composition’s deep structures and formal time-writing invention can evolve in relation to the enlarged sound resources produced by the interrelated evolution of the herited classical acoustic instrumental world, the surrounding sonic world that wraps our everyday life, and the virtual and electronic sounds.
