Pauline Oliveros (1932-2016)

Nacida en Houston, Texas (Estados Unidos), fue una artista sonora, compositora, acordeonista, figura importante en la experimentación sonora y de la música electrónica de los años 60.

Fue miembro fundador del San Francisco Tape Music Center en la década de 1960, y se desempeñó como su directora.

Su formación instrumental incluyó acordeón y corno francés. Con su acordeón tocó un repertorio diverso que incluía música clásica, barroca, popular y étnica.

La cisterna Dan Harpole en Fort Worden, Washington fue construida con la intención de reservar agua para combatir los posibles incendios que podrían ser provocados por cualquier ataque aéreo durante la segunda guerra mundial. Esta enorme bóveda subterránea tiene la capacidad de albergar cerca de 8 millones de litros de agua, y lo más importante, tiene la extraordinaria característica de generar 45 segundos de reverberación.

En palabras simples, la reverberación es el tiempo que tarda un sonido en desaparecer en un espacio.

En 1989, Oliveros junto con los músicos Stuart Dempster y Panaiotis descendieron a la cisterna con un tubo, una manguera de jardín, un trombón y un acordeón para para realizar una grabación que pudiera llevar la reverberación hasta los límites. El resultado de ese acontecimiento sonoro germinó en el concepto “Deep Listening”

El Deep Listening explora las diferencias entre oír y escuchar. Oliveros consideraba que el sonido no sólo eran las vibraciones audibles del aire que nos rodea, sino la totalidad de muchas energías vibratorias en todo el universo.

Este libro es producto de años de investigación en el campo del sonido y la escucha. Aquí Oliveros desarrolla con precisión el concepto de Deep Listening (Escucha Profunda) y su práctica, que consiste en ejercicios de meditación y experimentación sonora para enfocar la atención en un sonido y a su vez captar todos los sonidos circundantes de nuestro paisaje sonoro.

"Escucha todo el tiempo, y sé consciente cuando no lo estés haciendo".

En 1985, Pauline Oliveros funda The Center for Deep Listening ubicado en Nueva York, que se dedica a organizar workshops y retiros de escucha profunda.

Bye bye butterfly (1967) es una deconstrucción de la obra de Puccini, Madame Butterfly, y que Pauline realizó en una sola improvisación de casi 10 minutos.

“Se trata de una pequeña despedida a la música del siglo 19 pero también al sistema moralista de esa época y su opresión institucionalizada sobre el sexo femenino.”

I wrote this piece right before the election. Pauline Oliveros’s work and practices have been an important part of how I have come to understand how to navigate our very noisy present.

I led my first Soundwalk a few days ago for a group of Zennies at camp in the Michigan woods. Midway through I told them to “become performers by not performing” as instructed by Pauline Oliveros from her Sonic Meditations exercises. I think it was a success, the contributions were subtle but they seemed to bring more attention to the unintentional sounds in the environment. The consensus was that at first we felt like sidelined-players but towards the end we had melted into the sonic landscape. #Soundwalk #SonicMeditations #PaulineOliveros #johncage433

I spent the past three days immersed in music with @theechosociety — a musical deep dive into the theme of FAMILY, nestled in the Paramore Estate, Los Angeles. This picture sums up what the weekend felt like - warm, welcoming, vulnerable, beautiful togetherness. I openly wept three times yesterday, listening to pieces by @frozen_light & @danromer and playing @natronica 's piece The Fog Of Memories, the best song (in any genre) that I've heard in a long, long time. Here, audience and performers join at the end of the show to sing Pauline Oliveros' Tuning Meditation together. Unity solidified through music. Performing and composing for this has been a gift. Thanks to all of you who joined us. . . . #theechosociety #photobysomeone #paulineoliveros #cindertalk #music #family (at Silver Lake, Los Angeles)

CAMERA OBSCURA RESIDENCY - WEEK 2

Car engines, birds, wind, steps on sand, kids laughing. The soundwalk workshop was a real treat this past weekend. We probably looked like an odd spectacle of silent slow walkers to all the Santa Monica tourists. Once to the shore, we paused to record and listen to the sound of the ocean. The high swooshing of the waves coming across the sand blended with the consistent low drone of a boat cruising by. Upon returning, we listened back to our field recordings, journaled (see photos above), and shared observations about the experience.

Thanks to Jorge for taking pictures and thanks to everyone who came out. My next workshop will be "Collaborative Songwriting" on Saturday, May 11 @ 11am. See you then!

NEW IN THE BOOKSHOP: F.R. DAVID - SPRING 2018 - "FLURRY" • According to editor Will Holder, ‘Flurry’ came about after being asked to propose ten books for acquisition by the Gerrit Rietveld Academie library in Amsterdam. He gave a talk about that selection, for which he preferred reproducing original material over commentary, and wanted to allow others to speak. The outcome was a reading back and forth between the ten books. It soon became clear that this reading would readily lend itself to an issue of ‘F.R. David’. Associated material came up in the process of transcription. Included are writings by Emmie McLuskey, Krist Gruijthuijsen, Bitsy Knox, Maurin Dietrich, Camille Pageard, Frances Stark, Eileen Myles, and more. • Available via our website and in the bookshop this week. • #worldfoodbooks #frdavid #paulineoliveros #eileenmyles #susanhowe #francesstark #bitsyknox #maurindietrich #camillepageard #kristgruijthuijsen #emmiemcluskey #willholder (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)

prompt w/ heloise gold : 02.04.2018

Feeling my body moving fluidly and listening to Spock’s sounds from the bones in the middle of my back.

Small bird sounds from outside landing on my shoulders, right up against my neck and underneath my ears.

The past is present is future, in movement, in body, in sound, in listening.

For a moment, my body feels physically as fluid as it feels emotionally, psychologically. This is huge for me.

My gender is here and now.
