Literary work

Musical work
Lee comprimises one half of Blood Axis, creates music under her solo project Alraune and has collaborated extensively with Waldteufel. She was a member of Amber Asylum and has worked with various musicians, including Fire + Ice, In Gowan Ring, Kembra Pfahler, and The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black, Backworld, Crash Worship, Pauline Oliveros and Alvin Curran. The American composer Lou Harrison wrote "Round for Annabelle and April for 2 soprano instruments" for Annabel and her sister while he was visiting the family in Stuttgart, Germany in 1981 May 29-30.

Lee performed and exhibited in New York City, San Francisco and Mexico City (see the book La Panaderia: 1994-2002) but turned away from visual arts after receiving an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1995 in order to focus on music .
