“Her works are woven with cold and white polyphonies. Like Tapisserie (2015), which presents itself as a complex web of lines stretched to the extreme, as if stretched towards an impossible resolution, but whose relationships and discrepancies – a heritage of medieval music? – are governed by internal mathematics. And with only one transverse flute (Incantare, 2018), she builds a world crowded with terrifying monsters. Do not be fooled by appearances: in this smart thirty-something, with a wise and discreet demeanour, anguish lurks at every corner of the note.”
