Iconic American composer, performer, teacher, philosopher, inventor, and humanitarian Pauline Oliveros (1932–2016) was one of the world’s original electronic musicians (and the only female amongst notable post-war American composers), as well as a master accordion player, a mentor, 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 physical limitations to create beautiful music. Featuring Laurie Anderson, Terry Riley, Thurston Moore, and others, DEEP LISTENING presents a holistic portrait of the woman and her practice. Followed by a Deep Listening exercise led by artist, educator, and writer Veronica Anne Salinas. Co-presented by the Experimental Sound Studio.
