Prosopagnosia. Police beatings. Comic book characters. Ruby Fulton hears music in some unusual plotlines. In her ear, a case of face blindness turns into a fractured choral work, a beating is embodied by a line for steel pans, and Batman's nemesis falls out of a string quartet. Fulton radiates a sort of "ask me anything" energy, so when the Baltimore-based composer stopped by the Counterstream studio to chat about her work, questions were fired and she unloaded the details behind some of the stories that have inspired her and the philosophies underneath the musical choices she's made.
Tune in to Counterstream Radio August 20 @ 9 p.m. or August 23 @ 3 p.m. for full tracks of Fulton's music and the inside story from the composer herself.
