From the expert curation of Numero Group comes an extensive anthology of rare cassette releases, deep cuts and previously unreleased gems by prolific electronic music pioneer Joanna Brouk. An early contributor to the electronic music genre with an extensive electronic music education (UC Berkeley B.A.; Mills College M.A. with training under Terry Riley), Brouk took little credit for the magnitude of her talent, viewing herself more as a medium for the frequencies of the Earth than a composer. Spending even one hour immersed in the restorative sounds of Hearing Music can feel like cocooning in a deep healing chamber where you awake anew, more sensitive to the sights, subtleties, and sounds all around you.
