Anne Bourne
musician

Artist, composer, and mentor based in Tkaronto, Anne composes electroacoustic works for spatial installation in collaboration with artists, writers, scholars and scientists who stand for the wild and all life forms, including: Learning Endings; Patty Chang US; Astrida Neimanis CA; Striped Canary US; and Radio Amnion Jol Thoms UK. Anne improvises parallel streams of cello sonics, voice, with temporal processing, initially with Fred Frith, John Oswald, and with Pauline Oliveros. Anne developed a listening practice with Oliveros over many years in the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Seasoned in international recording and concert touring, Anne's collaborative work in dance began as composer with renowned choreographer Robert Desrosiers' Dance Theatre, returning to improvise for Robert's final solo for Claudia Moore’s Moonhorse. Anne's improvisation was an element of Sashar Zarif's Life is the Feeling of a Migrating Bird. In lifelong friendship, Anne engaged in deep creation process, composition and performance with choreographer/dancer Andrea Nann, with Michael Ondaatje. Anne is a founding faculty member of the Collective Composition Lab under Emily Molnar, Banff Centre for Art and Creativity; is on faculty for Center for Deep Listening, NY; and is an Executive Producer for the film Deep Listening: the Story of Pauline Oliveros. She holds independent gatherings for collective empathic listening and sounding internationally, for example at la Serre dei Giardini Margherita with Silvia Tarrozzi IT. A Chalmers Fellow, Anne observes shorelines as difference in coalescence, walking, listening and field recording, and composes in attunement to the spectral wave patterns of water.

For Peggy Baker Dance Projects: Anne performed Karen Tanaka’s The Song of Songs for Krishna’s Mouth in 2018 and 2022.
