Anne LeBaron is a composer as transformer and hears music in almost everything: vacuum cleaners, bellowing frogs and “processed” voices. “I’m fascinated with what you can do with sound,” the composer says. Especially “the sounds we hear but don’t pay attention to.”. She transforms instruments, such as putting objects on the strings of the harp to tease out hidden sounds. She transforms cultural contexts, be they Kazakh, Bach or Katrina.
