<p style="text-align: justify;">Olivia describes her musical education as a &#8220;normal classical background.&#8221; She studied piano to conservatoire level, working her way through the classical repertoire and developing a particular passion for the works of the 20th and 21st century – from Ligeti and Stockhausen to the American experimentalists Cage, Crumb, Reich, and Glass. &#8220;I began incorporating some of these ideas in my own music,&#8221; says Olivia, who has always composed but until recently it was a &#8220;private thing.&#8221;</p>


<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;I feel like, as an artist, most of what I do is to observe – the nature around us, how it changes and how the people interact with it. I spend as much time outside as I can. I try to capture the metamorphosis of nature in my music, and how the experience of living in this environment makes me feel,&#8221; explains Olivia. &#8220;I practice transcendental meditation and I feel the same peace through that as I get from rural life.&#8221;</p>
