Recent collaborations with improvising musicians MARK LOCKHEART, HUW WARREN, DUDLEY PHIILLIPS, STEVE ARGUELLES and CHRISTINE TOBIN have inspired Maria album project : myrrhMyrrh. This is scheduled to record in late 1997, to be released on the Babel Label in 1998, followed by a British tour. In stark contrast, concurrent project Ragged edges identifies the versatility and imagination of Maria's musical voice. Here she collaborates with her brother EMLYN , his DJ circle RADIO ECCLES, and JOE TOWNSEND creating a wild strings/desks cacophony, strikingly representative of world music. She is also Wales' coordinator for COMA (a UK network for the promotion of contemporary music making for amateurs) and music advisor at Plas tan yr Allt Centre for Waldorf Education Selected Works |
