Pauline Oliveros

the idea that as a musician you should listen to the other musicians, or as a performer that you should be attentive to the audience

not to diss Pauline but these are not her ideas, they are pretty fundamental tenets of group improvisation

Pleasant piece.

Interesting radio programme on BBC Radio 4 tonight which was about 50% interviews with Pauline Oliveros - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b083n4sc

reissue alert (or first vinyl issue alert I guess): https://importantrecords.com/products/oliveros-dempster-panaiotis-deep-listening-band-2lp

I just discovered this album recently and found it completely absorbing.

yes, i love that one.

i nearly bought that today but the shippimng just made it too much. Hopefully copies will make it over here shortly.

That record is all time

And mortality sucks :(

xps that's my favorite release of hers by quite a ways, absolutely essential

I can't get enough of this at the moment (along with Radigue). The Deep Listening album is just stupendous and from there I'm tending to go straight to Stuart Dempster's solo stuff: In the Great Abbey of St. Clement and Underground Overlays from the Cistern Chapel. It's answering a need I can't quite define.
