“Brouk in 2017, the year she died, on how she started making music: “I found one note that I loved and I played that note again and again and again. And I just listened. Put the sustain pedal down and just listened to the overtones. And I just played that note til I heard the next note, and the next note, and then eventually I would hear a melody. So I taught myself to play, and it wasn’t just the notes. It was the space between notes.”
