Genres as Starting Points, Not Destinations
Rush approaches electronic music with an experimental ethos, treating genre as a starting point rather than a destination — her work has been described as 'dubby but intense, brutal but tender, foggy yet clear.' Her 2015 album 'Sleepstep,' released on Raster-Noton, drew critical attention for capturing the liminal state 'between sleep and wakefulness.'
Beyond production, she creates audiovisual and performance work, including 'Antarctic Takt' (2014), 'Aurora Cerebralis' (2019), and the multimedia piece 'Les Territoires Ephemeres' (2018), which integrates Japanese butoh, theater, poetry, and digital elements. She has released through Sonic Groove and Raster-Noton, and runs her own imprints, Fullpanda Records (founded 2005) and Hunger to Create (founded 2004).
