SINGING MASKS

Welcome to one of the two "home" pages documenting my work, spanning the years from 1974 to the present. See Soundings++ for the full chronology. There are multiple ways to traverse this maze. You can use the top menu bars, which, rather than using drop-down menus, have two "home" pages, this one, and the second labeled &&& on the right side of the bar. Or you can use the table of links at the bottom of this page. If you're up for a real adventure, you can hit the random button. There are links on many pages that lead deeper into the maze. You can always come back to the Home pages by hitting the Home or &&& buttons on the top menu bar of each page.Have fun and good luck!

"The Singing Masks of Norman Lowrey brought the mysterious mythical world of dreams to Deep Listening Space during Ione's Dream Festival (October, 1997). The audience was transported immediately to a different dimension by the sound world created by the interaction of sounding mask and audio space eminating as natural surroundings. The reaction was peaceful yet electric."

The Witness by Pauline Oliveros
When I was unable to attend the presentation of The Witness by Pauline Oliveros at Carnegie Hall on Jan. 21, 2023, I participated telepathically and by way of doing an improvised merging of two previous versions. One a telepathic rendering of my contribution done May 29, 2021, when the scheduled event had to be cancelled due to rain and cold. The second when we were able to reschedule on July 23, 2021. I was honored to join The Talking Gong Trio (Claire Chase, Susie Ibarra, Alex Peh, with Senem Pirler on electronics), IONE, JL Simonson, and Peter Wetzler.
