The music featured on “Masked” was created spontaneously in the moment for this recording. Each piece was improvised without a plan and is meant to represent a live performance experience of Kathryn’s music. None of these tracks have been edited in any way in order to create as authentic a recording as possible. The concept of this album is largely based on Kathryn Ladano’s PhD thesis, “The Improvising Musician’s Mask: Using Musical Instruments to Build Self-Confidence and Social Skills in Collective Free Improvisation”. The results of that research significantly influenced this project. Our instruments are our masks; they allow us to express our true selves.
