The single, Renew Regrow Repair, with vocals by Tricia Tahara and Blake Howard is a new recording from the upcoming album, "Room to Breathe" by Mary Lou Newmark. Several tracks, including this one, are originally from the award winning theater work, "Breathing Room" also written and composed by Mary Lou Newmark. Described as a humorous and lyrical tapestry of words, music, movement and quantum physics, the show explored our modern culture of "technological vertigo" in a series of playful and intriguing scenes. Critic Ernest Kearney called "Breathing Room" a "joyous dance" and a "disarmingly beautiful musical parable." The Examiner wrote, "a noble effort to re-engage the human spirit with the broader natural world. There is no doubt but that the musical talent of Ms. Newmark is profound..." The show was awarded "2015 SAGE Award for Best Musical Score" by the ArtsInLa theater critics. Mary Lou Newmark, electric violinist, composer, poet-playwright, holds Master’s degrees in both violin performance (USC) and music composition (UCLA). Her works encompass a wide range of styles and techniques, incorporating live performance, original poetry and electronically processed sounds into unique pieces that inhabit their own sound worlds. Ms. Newmark is well known as a dynamic performer of her own compositions. As an artist of both music and words, Newmark continues to expand her creativity to include works for theater that combine the performing arts to explore social issues. The Los Angeles Times described her as “Laurie Anderson on a good hair day, but aiming more at emotions than intellect."
