Born in Trenton, New Jersey in 1954, Hutchinson is a sound artist whose work is internationally known. This is quite the big deal since sound powetry is still at its pioneering stages (if we use an industrial cycle analogy…). Her work has been showcased at international festivals at places such as Europe, New York, and New Zealand. 

Her works include music and composition for film, dance, performance and the like. Mer methods includes the use of stories, language, and a mixture of ambient sounds. 

Most of Hutchinson’s works are large scale, and she tries to engage as many people into her projects as possible. She’s truly dedicated to what she does, and is innovative as well: one of the things that make her unique is that she spent a chunk of her career singing into a long metal tube that affects the sounds she makes, changing them to art.
