she is not only one of the pioneers of the electric harp, and extended

recorded with (among others): John Zorn, Ikue Mori, Fred Frith, Elliott

States. Recent collaborations
include scores for choreographers Neil Greenberg,  Emmanuelle Vo-Dinh,
Jennifer Lacey and video artist Janene Higgins.  Zeena is a recipient of
the prestigious grant for Contemporary Performance Arts, numerous
commissions from Mary Flagler Cary Trust, the Jerome Foundation, a
Rockefeller Foundation grant, and NYSCA Composer Commission. Most
recently
Zeena performed with Yoko Ono at the Japan Society and has also been
working with Björk on her newest record.
