Her studies and research at IRCAM have had a major influence on her music and her characteristically luxuriant and mysterious textures are often created by combining live music and electronics.
Although much of her catalogue comprises chamber works, from the mid-nineties she has turned increasingly to larger forces and broader structures, such as the opera L ’ amour de loin, premiered at the 2000 Salzburg Festival ( with a US premiere at the Santa Fe Opera in 2002 ), and Oltra mar for chorus and orchestra, commissioned by the New York Philharmonic.
Her second string quartet, Terra Memoria, was commissioned for the Emerson Quartet by Carnegie Hall for a June 2007 premiere.
