Deep Listening: Pauline Oliveros

BBC Radio 3 - The Listening Service, Deep Listening: Pauline Oliveros

Tom Service explores deep listening, a practice created by composer Pauline Oliveros.

Tom Service explores deep listening, a practice created by composer Pauline Oliveros to train performers to listen better and respond to environmental conditions.

Tom Service immerses himself in Deep Listening, a practice created by composer Pauline Oliveros. It's a kind of sonic meditation, a way of approaching music with more sensitivity that anyone can practise. In exploring this concept, Tom also explores the music of Oliveros, one of the most influential composers of the late twentieth century. She was a pioneer of electronic music, working with tape machines and early synthesizers in the 1060s in California.
She wrote: "Deep listening for me is learning to expand the perception of sounds to include the whole space/time continuum of sound - encountering the vastness and complexities as much as possible.".

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
