Deep Listening and sonic meditation

This workshop includes an introduction to the life and work of composer, performer and humanitarian Pauline Oliveros, a pioneer of electronic music who created the term “Deep Listening”, a practice of radical attentiveness to sound. Oliveros described Deep Listening as “a practice that is intended to heighten and expand consciousness of sound in as many dimensions of awareness and attentional dynamics as humanly possible”.

Often called grande-dame of American Minimalism Oliveros created her “Sonic Meditations” in 1974, a text score to help practitioners make sounds, imagine sounds, listen to, and remember sounds.

Following Oliveros’ instructions we will reenact selected Sonic Meditations and Deep Listening exercises with an experimental approach.
