Iris was already as a child fascinated by different voices and sounds, so when she started to study singing with her first teacher Annette Giesriegl, who is a voice acrobat, she developed an even greater desire to play with her voice and use it in a free improvised context. Although she worked with improvising musicians in Austria, most of her associations in this area have arisen since her move to London.
There she started going to Maggie Nichols Gathering and to Eddie Prévost Workshops where she gained more experience in improvising shapes and sounds.
In October 2013 she performed with pianist Marjolaine Charbin at the festival "As Alike As Trees" at Cafe Oto, which was organised by Eddie Prévost, David O'Connor and Jennifer Allum.
Apart from studying with Annette Giesriegl, she also started working with her on various projects such as Vociferous, where she met British pianist, composer and improvisor Veryan Weston, who she has worked with since her move to the UK.
Iris, Annette and Atsuko Kamura have started a trio for 3 voices, loop-machines and electronics, which gave their premier concert at Arch1 in the beginning of January 2014.
