Hwong has a degree in ethnomusicology, experience in writing for New York dance companies and multimedia artists, and a stamp of approval from minimalist innovator Philip Glass, who has acted as her mentor to a certain extent. Her masterfully produced, electro-acoustic albums on the Private Music label are filled with ethereal yet sensual dreamscapes and breathless, rhythmic journeys through fantastic worlds. Copyright © All Music Guide. Linda Kohanov - All Music Guide, Vol.1.1 Recordings HOUSE OF SLEEPING BEAUTIES Miss Hwong creates..instrumental and vocal sounds and aural evocations. She builds hypnotic moods..and she has real ideas. John Rockwell - NEW YORK TIMES A delicate free-flowing hybrid of est and West. Michael Walsh - TIME SECRET LUMINESCENCE Hwong's romantic lyricism, atmospheric serenity-suspense and other-worldly timbres create a kind of sonic cinematic ballet.

Ken Hali - MUSIC Television PAPER ANGELS ( PBS ) The music is especially imaginative, delicately establishing and maintaining the emotional weight of a scene. John J. O'Connor - NEW YORK TIMES HIROSHIMA: OUT OF THE ASHES ( NBC) With the help of Lucia Hong's music..Mr. Werner carries the separate stories smoothly one into the other, until they merge as an account of some good coming out of much suffering.
