Her enthusiasm for musique concrète was later joined by that for British new-wave pop, but she kept her own music private. She tried a huge variety of techniques, and when - in the late 1960s - she began to record some of her work on a reel-to-reel tape recorder, it was in a great variety of styles.

Some of her music was finally released on his own label by Jan Jelinek.
