Her sound poem ''I Come Out of Your Sleep'' (revised and recorded on ''Sinopah'' 1997 XI) is constructed from speech sounds in Louise Bogan's poem "Little Lobelia." According to the composer "a very soft dynamic level is an integral component of this piece. It is important to listen to it in the way it was composed, near the threshold of hearing." (liner notes) Her collage piece ''SUM (State of the Union Message)'' is included on the ''Lesbian American Composers'' collection (1998 CRI: 780). ''SUM'' and ''DUMP'' 〔Leidecker, Jon (2009).

She wrote that after her exposure to tape manipulation she became open to the potential of, "all sounds...as material for music". She joined the staff at Hunter College (CUNY) in 1966 and created the electroacoustic music center there after being fired and rehired at the new Hunter College facilities in 1968.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ruth Anderson (composer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
