With experience in international intermedia performance and recording, composer/artist Anne Bourne (based in Tkaronto) creates emergent streams of cello, piano and field recordings. Anne facilitates environmental listening through the text scores and listening practice of Pauline Oliveros and walking. A Chalmers Fellow, Anne explores equanimity, microtonal sound, listening and the wave patterns of water.
I met Anne during the workshop Creative Composition at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in Canada, and had the opportunity of collaborating with her at the Venice Biennale for the sound installation Cassini’s Dream created by the artist China Blue. What stroked me from the moment I start to be with Anne in the same room, creating (and also not, just chatting and giggling) is her presence and presence to the sound, the one already present and the one created, as she composes the aliveness of the present moment, with the environment and I have been a witness of how this fine attunement changes not just the whole quality of the room, but also the listener.
‘What is heard is changed by listening and changes the listener..’
