Iris Garrelfs is best known for her emotive, improvised glitch-tech performances based around electronically manipulated and digitally warped voice sounds. The Wire has described her sound as "Garrelfs's divine caressing tones floated over the audience... Garrelfs's voice swelled up into vast cavernous echoes, sweeping the audience with it"
Specified Encounters has been moulded from dissected, transmuted voice sounds, settling somewhere between Arvo Part and Christan Fennesz. Iris Garrelfs performs solo as well as in collaboration with other soundartists like Robert Lippok (To Rococo Rot), Kaffe Matthews, Scanner, Si-cut.db and Freeform.
