Her solo project takes inspiration from diverse musical and visual sources with a strong focus on Elizabethan song; converting early song texts into haunting and obscure new settings which occasionally traverse the realms of early folk, contemporary classical, electronica and post-rock.
Live performances and commissions for new compositions have been seen at various UK festivals across the last 4 years including: The Great Escape Festival, Loop Festival, Beachdown Festival, Brighton Live, Soundwaves Festival, Brighton Fringe Festival, Brighton Early Music Festival, Adur Festival, and the University of York Spring Festival of New Music.
Elizabeth also curates SoundCirque, an occasional club night which she setup in November 2007. The night, based in different Brighton based venues for each show features the very best experimental artists (musicians/visual artists) from diverse backgrounds.
