The Numero Group is a Chicago-based record label, dedicated to the preservation and celebration of lesser-known artists. Their exploration spans the globe and reaches deep into the recesses of music history to&nbsp;create compilations of previously released music, reissues of original albums, and creation of album reconstructions from a variety of musical genres.

The label's focus since its 2003 founding has been to research and preserve obscure recorded material and ephemera by artists and entrepreneurs who found little commercial success upon their material's initial release.

Joanna Brouk was a composer and poet who became a pioneer of early electronic music. Born in 1949 in St. Louis County, Missouri, she studied under Robert Ashley and Terry Riley at the Mills College Center For Contemporary Music. Blazing her own trail outside of the musical establishment, Brouk created uncompromising electronic and acoustic work of sleek beauty and primal power. Her body of work exists at the nexus between ambient, new age, drone, and classical minimalism—stark in its simplicity, lush in its expanse.

Describing herself as less a composer than a channel, Brouk took inspiration from the frequencies of the natural world and collaborated with artists like *Maggi Payne* and *Bill Maraldo*. Hearing Music is a collection that brings together her beguiling cassette releases along with previously unreleased recordings.

If you enjoy artists such as David Casper, Iasos, Shiho Yabuki, Cybe, JD Emmanuel or Ariel Kalma among others; Joanna Brouk's unique sound will captivate your senses.

Previously issued on three rare cassette-only editions, Joanna Brouk's 1980 sophomore album The Space Between has finally been given spacious LP quarters. The side-long title track, performed by Brouk's Mills College instructor and sometime-lover Bill Maraldo is among the deepest and most distinctive pieces in the new age canon, while side B's three cuts expand the theme in hypnotic new directions.
