Overview
Overview
From 2002 on, she lived in Lander, Wyoming (elevation 5,358 ft / 1,633 m), where the thin, dry air alleviated most of her asthma symptoms. Sara died in December 2008, aged fifteen or sixteen years old. Between 2007 and 2010, Unusual Animals was a special series of limited-edition vinyl releases, parties, artist showcases, and music events. In 2007, the Unusual Animals Project Space founded by Michael Kaufmann at the Harrison Center for the Arts in Indianapolis featured exhibitions by Cindy Hinant and Stuart Snoddy. Launched in 2009, the Library Catalog Music Series publishes instrumental music by a variety of artists for personal and commercial use. In 2020, Sufjan Stevens and Lowell Brams released Aporia, a 21-track album. The album has been described as "mixing organic instrumentation with experimental electronics, intertwining both new age and ambient music."
