I just recently discovered this American composer, performer, director, vocalist, film-maker, and choreographer by chance. And besides the fact that I had smoked a little bit beforehand... she astounded me. It happens quite often though, I must say, like once I was staying up late and accidently watched a documentary on Jessye Norman and I felt the same.
Meredith is so utterly unique and working with the space of sound in dimensions that are abnormal. Her singing technique is wonderful. I don't hear a single word when she sings, just the feeling and the emotion. She doesn't use lyrics. She's just wonderful. And I've just discovered her.. I've only listened to a few songs of hers.. but she's been going on since the 60s so there's a lot to look forward to. As well as her films!! :)
