Pauline Oliveros (born in 1932), then in her early 20s and living in San Francisco, turned a tape recorder on, and, listening back to the sounds she had preserved, heard things that she had not realised were happening in real time – and a philosophy of listening and sonic exploration was born.

Pauline Oliveros (born in 1932), then in her early 20s and living in San Francisco, turned a tape recorder on, and, listening back to the sounds she had preserved, heard things that she had not realised were happening in real time – and a philosophy of listening and sonic exploration was born. It's an approach to music that would lead to her Sonic Meditations and to Deep Listening, an album recorded in a disused cistern 14 feet beneath the earth in Washington State.
She discovered the Deep Listening phenomenon in that cistern in Fort Worden in 1989, with its reverberation time of 45 seconds – making St Paul's Cathedral seem like a domestic bathroom by comparison – with trombonist Stuart Dempster and sound artist Panaiotis and as the founding spirit of the Deep Listening Band, Oliveros has collaborated on albums that excavate new regions of sound. Her development of the idea of listening as ritual, healing, and meditation also led to her founding the Deep Listening Institute. « hide |
