In solo work with the piano, the attention is focused on producing permanent movement between repetition and change, like riding through a landscape or touching the surface of something. Recently she began to mix up playing inside the piano and playing the keys like a percussionist plays his several instruments.

With electronic instruments (a couple of cd- + md-players, effects unit, mixing board, 2-5 loudspeakers) she plays with prepared soundmaterial, short samples she recorded and edited or cut out of other music; here she also works with the loop function of cd-players but in a way that the looping is not noticable

She played with a lot of musicians such as Jo Ambros (Berlin, guitar), Boris Baltschun (Berlin, sampler), Conny Bauer (Berlin, trombone), Alessandro Bosetti, (Berlin, soprano saxofon), Michel Doneda (Toulouse, soprano saxofon), Günter Heinz (Dresden, trombone), Carl Ludwig Hübsch (Cologne, tuba), Thomas Maos (Tübingen, guitar), Alfredo Costa Monteiro (Barcelona, accordion), Uli Phillipp (Wiesbaden, double bass, electronic), Christian Reiner (Wien, voice), Maciej Walczak (Lodz, vj) and many others.

At present she has a strong interest in working for playing solo piano and solo electronic but also collaborates with musician and visual artist such as Jörg Kallinich (Tübingen): slideprojectors ; Alban Bailly (Nancy), guitar; Chris Heenan (Los Angeles), Alto Saxofon,
