Workshop, performance and book launch in celebration of the legacy of groundbreaking composer Pauline Oliveros.
‘A Year of Deep Listening’ was a 365-day online celebration of the legacy of groundbreaking composer Pauline Oliveros, in honour of what would have been Oliveros’ 90th birthday (May 30, 2022).
Originally started online, The Center for Deep Listening at Rensselaer published one text score per day—online and across social media platforms—for 365 days.
An expression of the Deep Listening community, the scores were created by over 300 artists, ranging from prize-winning composers to ear-minded grocery store clerks, from those who worked closely with Pauline Oliveros for decades, to those she never met. Published by Terra Nova and distributed by MIT Press, these scores are now brought together in one beautiful and historic volume, A Year of Deep Listening.
Join us on Saturday 5 April for a day of Deep Listening curated by UK-based musician, artist and Deep Listening facilitator, Dan Johnson.
During our afternoon workshop Dan will guide participants through the key principles of Deep Listening Practice using a selection of pieces from the ‘A Year of Deep Listening’ book.
The evening performance will showcase a further selection of pieces from ‘A Year of Deep Listening’, some of which will include optional audience participation.
