In 2004/2005 she travelled to Beijing, China, to study Peking Opera at Zhongguo Xiqu Xueyuan. She returned to Asia in 2008 in Taipei, Taiwan to learn the Chinese zither, Guzheng.

In 2004/2005 she travelled to Beijing, China, to study Peking Opera at Zhongguo Xiqu Xueyuan. She returned to Asia in 2008 in Taipei, Taiwan to learn the Chinese zither, Guzheng.
In 2007 she composed a third of the original soundtrack (including the end titles main song) of feature film "The Fox and the Child" by Luc Jacquet (director of worldwide success "March of the Penguins")
Her mesmerising stage performances combine an eathereal and unique voice (in the vein of Kate Bush or Julee Cruise) with amazing instruments: omnichord, harmonium, Italian organ and vintage drum machine.
Her debut album, 'No One Knows We're Here' recorded in Sussex, UK and Paris, France produced by Ian Caple (Tricky, Tindersticks, Stina Nordenstam & Alain Bashung), was released in October 2010, on French record label "Naïve".
She is now working on her second solo album.
When she is not in China learning Beijing Opera, nor in Taiwan studying the Chinese harp, nor composing movie soundtracks, Alice Lewis writes songs.
