Meredith Monk
|
|
The career of composer, vocalist and filmmaker Meredith Monk has been understandably diverse, resulting in a dozen albums -- most for ECM New Series -- plus several documentaries and numerous awards for both careers. Born in 1942, she attended Sarah Lawrence College and began composing while there. In 1968, Monk formed the House, a record company-of-sorts for interdisciplinary works relating both to music, dance and film. She signed to the ECM label in the late '70s and has recorded consistently since, avant-garde works encompassing jazz, classical and theater music. -- John Bush, All-Music Guide, photo by Walter Kranl
