Influenced by Laurie Anderson and Björk, Elisabeth Szwarc cuts her own compositional path.
Experimental rhythms and diverse sound collages meet profound lyrics and nonsuch singing.
Why this name?
It's some kind of mixing my own name: Elisabeth Szwarc.
Szwarc (polish) means black. and Elisabeth, well i thought of Lillie/ waterlily, and that's ninfea in Italian. This is the way
BlackNinfea occured. Apart from that it is also some kind of hugging a dear friend of mine, Elisabetta Giglio who's name Giglio means nothing else than "lily"... so, things get mixed up, huh? :)

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It changes my knowledge in music, definitly, and that's all I can say to that topic.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Of course i would. If i could. Things change so easily, but I hope I'll never loose my "reason" for making music.
Band History:
Elisabeth Szwarc performed with improving artists as Lawrence Casserley, Jeffrey Morgan, Michael Reimann and Dinesh Mishra.
She played together with Glen Hall and other musicians from the AIMT in Canada in the summer of 2007, amongst others at the "Tranzac" and at the "Leftover Daylight Series" in Toronto.
As a member of the Electronic Ladiez Network, she performs regularly in the area of Cologne, Germany since 2006.
More so, she played live with her improvisational ensemble Klangtreppe in various art galleries in the area of Oberhausen, Ruhrarea, Germany until May 2007 when she felt ready for new artistic challenges.
Elisabeth made the sounddesign for a performance of choreographer Lior Shneior (Folkwang, Essen / New York) performed at the "Young Choreographers 2008", Essen.

Your influences?
Books, tons of books. Reading and listening to words is something maybe like for a bee to suck honey.
It's the street, people, objects, nature, making music just while being, being alive, living. Breathing is a big thing and can be so different.
But I guess, I should point out some bands, huh?
Let me name
blur, björk, goldfrapp, massive attack, tricky, nin.
Everything deep, dark, with emotions. Silly and stupid things aswell as severe classical orchestra concerts...
