In 2008 she releases her first solo album Johann Merrich - Ussr Vs Paradise (in Six Movements) for the Italian netlabel Vuoto. One year after, in 2009, she recored her second solo Johann Merrich - Fricadelique! (How To Be A Flower-Power Nihilist) for the Russian netlabel Clinical Archives.

In 2012 she recorded 7 Tone-floats For A Self Destruction for electronicgirls, moving her taste to low-fi beat and punk sounds.
Passionate connoisseur of electronic music history, in 2012 she published her first book about women in electronic sounds Le Pioniere della musica elettronica (Auditorium Edizioni, Milan). Together with Ilaria Pasqualetto, Giacomo Trevisan and Chironomia, she made the theatre pièce Annusavamo fiori di fibra ottica. In the same year, she started to write articles on electronic music for InSound.
Thanks to the meeting with the performing art duo Andrigo&Aliprandi, from 2012 she become involved in the production of music for dance and performances, writing pieces for dance shows (Libere di Ricominciare - 2014, choreographed by Marianna Andrigo; Le Bistrot des dames - 2015, choreographed by Marianna Andrigo) and Vertical Dance (Cubo for Eventi Verticali - 2015 and Sostanza d'Ombra for Vertical Waves Project - 2014).
With Andrigo&Aliprandi she funded in 2014 Live Arts Culture and she's now curator of the cultural association's musical projects. She deepened her researches following seminars lead by Teho Teardo (Fondazione Giorgio Cini - 2014), playing in Cesare Ronconi's Tornare al Cuore theatre action (Forte Marghera - 2015), and in Pauline Oliveros' Environmental Dialogues (Benedetto Marcello Conservatory, Venice - 2015).
