*House of the Sleeping i Hwong's cult By WAYNE YANG B Assistant copy desk chief Bridges can be conveyances, a 111 means of getting from one place to ill another, or, like San Francisco's Ip; Golden Gate bridge, they can be lli destinations in themselves. I iiiMi I nlKnm s \ i~ m r Il.ulki i mwu^ 3 aiuuiu it i/mjc IJJ niv. the Sleeping Beauties is a cultural del bridge, and it is a destination in the itself. mc "The thing which distinguishes th (composers like Hwong) from ins other composers, is that they represent a dual tradition," composer mc Philip Glass writes in the liner coi notes. he; "Not a borrowing from one the tradition or incorporating the ba< sounds of another, but a real blending of Eastern and Western ch; music." bui "Above all," he writes, Hwong res has "an individual voice." zitl Hwong, who wrote the music for David Hwang's M. Butterfly, aptly arv creates this "individual voice" dri through skillful orchestration of th< Eastern and Western sounds, the Hv movement of violin with pipa, or the the saxophone with zither. Like Kitaro, Hwong represents he; the coming of a new Asian culture, tut but her music is different and Hv without a lot of the heavy percus- 1 sion of Kitaro's music. She builds coi her music on girders of synthetic am illtn.1 . II it She uses this pulse in frenzied po pieces like "In (he Dream." Here, fer Hwang's pipa can be seductive, mc both in its sensuousness and in its am storytelling qualities. At one mo- mc HAM AND CHEES, . # TWO SLICES OF LEAN HAM Wll $ AMERICAN CHEESE, A LITTLE M ?
