She has also composed music for films, installations and dance and worked together with numerous musicians like Dustin O’Halloran, Jonsí, Damien Rice, Colin Stetson and Kronos Quartet.

Her fourth album “Ox” features gorgeous cello sounds, angel-like vocals, rich arrangements and soundscapes. She’ll be on the European mainland for a couple of shows and we are very proud to welcome her to Nijmegen.
