Musically she produces Brutalist psychedelic electronic sound statuettes | Spectralist syntheses & contrasting dissociated distorted multiverses of NeoPlastique silicon αἰθήρ | 

Fusing asymmetrical syncretized fragments of musique concrète, experimental electronics, sound poetry, techno, noise-hop, and sound art.

She has LP's & EP's released with Natural Sciences, Aa3 Corp., D.M.T. Records, Always Human Tapes, Far East Sound, and others.
