Career

In 1980 Young designed a 24-stringed musical instrument, the amaranth,[2] which she played in many of her performances[3] and later released an album of music performed on it.

Young lectured about the musical creations of Canadian physicist, composer, and instrument builder Hugh Le Caine at the McGill Contemporary Music Festival in 1985,[4] and in 1989 she published a book about him.[5][6]

In 2012 Young's recorded soundscape, "Avalon Shorelines", was part of a New York concert by cellist Madeleine Shapiro.[7] She continued to act as editor of the magazine MusicWorks.[8]

In 2016 Young performed with her amaranth as part of a deep listening concert in Ottawa organized by composer and accordionist Pauline Oliveros.[9]
