Lucia Hwong

Hwong has a degree in ethnomusicology, experience in writing for New York dance companies and multimedia artists, and a stamp of approval from minimalist innovator Philip Glass, who has acted as her mentor to a certain extent. Her masterfully produced, electro-acoustic albums on the Private Music label are filled with ethereal yet sensual dreamscapes and breathless, rhythmic journeys through fantastic worlds. Unfortunately, Hwong disappeared from the recording scene after the release of her second album, Secret Luminescence. She resurfaced in the late nineties to release a trilogy of work including 1998's Goddess Awakening, Vol. 1, 1999's Goddess Celestial Realms, Vol. 2 and Goddess Mystical Visions, Vol. 3. ~ Linda Kohanov, Rovi
