Maryanne Amacher R.I.P
(February 1943 – October 2009)

Yesterday a revolutionary musician died, Maryanne Amacher.

She is most recognized for her work on what she called the Third Ear. If done properly when your ears would take in the music and it would make your own ear to emit sounds as if it was coming out of your head.

She was mainly a performance artist setting up installations and customizing the sound and speakers based on the acoustics. She does have a few releases but I’m sure they provide no justice to her installation work.

May another Maryanne Amacher enter this world to explore these shapes of sound.

Here is quite an informative interview with Maryanna Amacher, to get more insight into her movement.
