On the heels of a technophilic 1960s U.S. experimentalism eager to claim the sounds of living bodies—eartones, heartbeats, brainwaves, and other close mic’ed oddities—as raw material newly “discovered” and then submitted to composers for aesthetic refinement and technological elaboration, Intelligent Life shows how any “newly sonorous” biomechanical processes come already carved and compacted by technology, capital, and politics.15

can you believe it? and sounds like there's enough there that it could be staged credibly as hers -- the archives contain digital tapes of many of the separate tapes she'd use to mix a concert, and there are a few collaborators familiar enough with her performance techniques. though like Ives' Universe Symphony it's going to require some imaginative intermediaries.

Is it available on spotify?

dull sincere response: sounds like someone (person or institution) should apply for funding to produce this. Opera America has special grants for producing/developing work by female composers (along with other grant programs).

After having read more thoroughly: producing this sounds like an awesome project. Invariably it will be done in Europe or somewhere with more resources than the Bay Area.

Excellent:
