Deep Listening Quote



Here’s one of my favorite quotes from the composer, performer, humanitarian and founder of the practice of Deep Listening, Pauline Oliveros. This one is accompanied by my very first Singing Mask, Earth Singer. February 16, 2024.


The Witness by Pauline Oliveros

When I was unable to attend the presentation of The Witness by Pauline Oliveros at Carnegie Hall on Jan. 21, 2023, I participated telepathically and by way of doing an improvised merging of two previous versions. One a telepathic rendering of my contribution done May 29, 2021, when the scheduled event had to be cancelled due to rain and cold. The second when we were able to reschedule on July 23, 2021. I was honored to join The Talking Gong Trio
(Claire Chase, Susie Ibarra, Alex Peh,
with Senem Pirler on electronics),
IONE, JL Simonson, and Peter Wetzler.
