A Message from DAVID FELTON
(Former President of Deep Listening Institute, Ltd)

DEAR FRIENDS OF PAULINE OLIVEROS AND DEEP LISTENING®:
Even though composer Pauline Oliveros left the material plane two years ago this Thanksgiving, her pioneering work continues to flourish as if she were still running the show. And maybe she is. During the years before she passed, Oliveros took steps to build a vibrant community and educational system to carry on her legacy, music and practice of Deep Listening at events around the world. On August 3, 2018, the city of Kingston unveiled a “Deep Listening Plaza in Honor of Pauline Oliveros” Read the entire Press Release

Four Mediations / Sound Geometrics
"Pauline Oliveros is a virtuoso at creating environments for musicians to explore. The legendary 84-year old composer, accordionist, and electronic pioneer is perhaps best known for her tape experiments from the ’60s, but her musical scores are just as innovative. Most of them contain text rather than musical notation, and eschew hard-and-fast directions in favor of poetic guidelines to be interpreted. In other words, she doesn’t tell people what to play, but how to play—and just as importantly, how to listen. Given this creative freedom, her collaborators often respond with something that’s less like music to passively listen to than spaces your mind can enter and probe." Marc Masters, Pitchfork.com

A giant of the avant-garde shows us how to listen.





Pauline Oliveros is one of modern music's most important figures, precisely because her work transcends music itself. While many people have heard of her contemporaries like Steve Reich and Philip Glass, Oliveros' five decades of work is so wide-reaching that popular culture has barely kept up.
