'THERE ARE THOSE WHO CONFORM AND THOSE WHO CONFRONT AND NEVER STOP TRANSFORMING'.

From the child with the marching drum grew an unconventional drummer, percussionist, composer, and musician. She started out in pop-rock bands (Zita Swoon Group, Yuko) before exploring improvisation and sound experimentation. From the Inwolves project to the solo Terre Sol (2020) and the Terre Sol Four quarted.

Her motto – “ There are those who conform and those who confront and never stop transforming” is evident in her search for new possibilities in both the smallest gestures and the largest movements.

Willems works intuitively – in her attic room, she combines percussion, found objects, and field recordings.

Her aim is to find music in which she could find herself as a spiritual being as well as a creative artist. She is concerned with the essence of her own work, the perception of her own personality and the further development of sound as an art of fusing different aesthetics and genres.

Willems is also active in theatre, dance, and contemporary music productions, and has collaborated with Kopergietery (Buzz) Ultima Vez (Invited), Leon.Dance, Ensemble Klang (Without Papers), Platform K (Sculpture), Antigone (Gemislukt), ChampdAction (Hold Your Horses, Vokal Trakt), Bl!ndman [drums] (Herman Kolgen – Train Fragments), …
