Her debut album Solos for _ _ _ _ Spaces (Dec 2023 on Bezirk Tapes) was described as “a play of contrasts, contradicting voluminous expressions with confined phrases, taming resounding feedback with faint percussive flutters, but one that feels driven by the desire to craft electrifying drama rather than pure autotelic dissonance.” (The Quietus). She is one third of a collaborative project with Li Song and Conal Blake, with two releases: 2 Movements (Feedback Moves, 2024) and Music for Snare Drums and Portable Speakers (Infant Tree, 2023). Her debut LP A Technology of Feeling was released in January 2026 on Infant Tree.
