Noise Reduction Society produces large-scale multimedia works. The first production was my multimedia opera, PeaceOpera: The Soul of the Rock which premiered in Chicago. Subsequently, the work received a NEA grant for development and production in New York. Additional performances have been given in Chicago and St. Louis. From 1994 through 2005, several major works were composed and produced. I am currently in the process of digitizing the archival recordings and posting them on the internet. I hope that in the future there will be a way to reopen the resources (time and venue) that allowed this scale of creativity and production. I am grateful for the support of Kathe Dunlop, who was in many ways the executive producer for most of this. A list of productions follows below.
