Hallé Orchestra musician reaches final of the UK songwriting contest

Born in Hanover/Germany, Bea moved to Manchester, England in 1987 to study double bass with Duncan McTier and composition at the Royal Northern College of Music.

Her writing is strongly influenced by 20th century composers and primarily the works of Stravinsky, Shostakovich and the Second Viennese School of Schoenberg, Berg and Webern, as well as Britpop and early 70's Krautrock. Bea combines these opposing temperaments and her impressions of playing in the Hallé Orchestra in her compositions. Linking ALEAtronic's classical instrumentation with current electronic influences and traditional song writing skills proves a daily challenge for Bea in her aim to communicate different styles and backgrounds to the community through performance-related education work.

With her latest re-invention, marbelious, Bea finds a new outlet for her playing and programming skills. marbelious are working on their first album "I lurk here", a collection of mainly ambient and atmospheric tracks.
