She also participated in the year-long computer course at IRCAM and worked with Louis Andriessen in Amsterdam, co-founding the international contemporary music collective Concerten Tot and Met.

"Here is something at once unique, personal, and highly enjoyable. Composers today are faced with a bewildering carte blanche of choices…Few, however, manage to find a voice so focused and intent that you immediately recognize it. Boston-based composer-pianist Ketty Nez has accomplished that with beautiful results in this album of duos for piano and various instruments.…In sum, this is the best release of contemporary music that I've encountered this year and in several years past."
