Experienced in international performance and recording, Anne facilitates collective empathic creativity, through the participatory text scores and listening practice of composer Pauline Oliveros 1932-2016. Offering sonic engagement in composed sound fields, in public space, Anne improvises parallel streams of piano, cello, voice, audio visual field recording; and in attunement to more than human sound fields, offers listening and walking. A Chalmers Fellow, mentor at the Center for Deep Listening Rensselaer NY, Anne explores equanimity, microtonal sound, listening and the wave patterns of water.edit

Pauling Oliveros’ score Horse Sings from Cloud asks that you —
Sustain one or more tones or sounds until any desire to change the tone(s) or sound(s) subsides. When there is no desire to change the tone(s) or sound(s) then change.
Ever since I found this Oliveros score in a play with my mercurial nature, I have started every improvisation in this way. This is how I began at the memorial for Pauline Oliveros (1932–2016) by invitation of Ione, épouse of Pauline, at the Park Avenue Armory. Rachel Koenig lent me Pauline’s grandfather’s cello. I took off my sweater in one gesture, sat down on a chair and lifted up the cello, in the centre of a circle of one hundred people in the portrait room, and more roaming the installations in the halls. Gentle laughter (the way I took off my sweater) I began to play then to sing Horse Sings from Cloud. My sound brought tears (someone told me later) and then, text spoken, we all toned together The Tuning Meditation in a dissonance of exquisite beauty.
Pauline was a deep meditator. I see her this way still when I imagine her, sometimes she opens her eyes and grins at me.
It was an effortless task to offer the loving assembly at the Armory steps towards singing Oliveros’ paradigm work The Tuning Meditation—there was so much in people’s hearts that wanted to be expressed. That’s how the text scores feel—effortless.
