Daniel Weintraub's new feature-length film, Deep Listening: The Story of Pauline Oliveros, is a documentary that traces the life and work of visionary composer, musician, teacher, technological innovator, and humanitarian Pauline Oliveros (1932–2016).

Deep listening is the foundation for a radically transformed social matrix in which compassion and love are the core motivating principles guiding creative decision making and our actions in the world
--Pauline Oliveros

In addition to being a resident of Kingston, NY for over thirty years, Pauline was one of the world’s original electronic musicians, the only female amongst notable post-war American composers, a master accordion player, a teacher and mentor to musicians, a gateway to music and sound for non-musicians, and a technical innovator who helped develop everything from tools that allow musicians to play together while in different countries, to software that enables those with severe disabilities to create beautiful music. On the vanguard of contemporary American music for six decades, her story illuminates the pathway to how we got where we are and where the future will take us in the worlds of music, the philosophy of sound, and the art of listening.

Produced in collaboration with executive producer IONE, Oliveros' partner in life and work, and the Ministry of Maåt, Inc., the film combines rare archival footage, live performances, and unreleased music with appearances by Terry Riley, Anna Halprin, Ione, Linda Montano, Laurie Anderson, Thurston Moore, Alvin Lucier, Claire Chase, Miya Masaoka, Morton Subotnick, Tony Martin, Ramon Sender and many more ground-breaking artists.

Here's a bit of the  Pauline  tribute/ event to raise awareness of the film of December 11, 2021 at Roulette in Brooklyn:  "Deep Listening: The Story of Pauline Oliveros" has become a crucial conduit for passing along her wisdom as it tells the story of Pauline’s life as an iconic composer, performer, teacher, philosopher, technological innovator and humanitarian.

We offer you here a GIFT of amazing performances donated by our loving friends. Here are Steve Buscemi, Anne Waldman, IONE, Daniel and others honoring the film: Let's Finish This Film

Thank you all for continuing to donate to the ongoing expenses Daniel Weintraub is incurring as this wonderful new level of film showings and presentations continues!

Best of dreams and love,
IONE
