|  Sonic Meditations and Deep Listening
Pauline Oliveros
Deep Listening® is a practice created by Pauline Oliveros that explores the relationship between sound and consciousness. In this practice, you actively direct attention to any and all sounds to expand listening and to direct the interaction between oneself and the sources of sound. In this way, practitioners experience meaning within themselves and their world.
In this workshop, you will be introduced to the history and practice of Deep Listening through listening exercises and partner processing. You will have an opportunity to experience energy exercises, listening practices, slow walking, journal writing, and Sonic Meditations, original compositions by Pauline, to understand how the practice of Deep Listening can be used for improvisation, creativity, and movement with the intention of healing.
| Pauline Oliveros is considered one of the most
influential figures in experimental music of the past 50 years. As a composer and improviser, she has created definitive and original works using a classical electronic music studio, modular synthesizers, and her own Expanded Instrument System (EIS) that combines any acoustic instrument or voice with software transformations she has designed. Pauline has
written extensively about music, consciousness, and humanitarian concerns. Her Deep Listening philosophy advocates expanding awareness and attentiveness by "listening in every possible way to everything possibleto hear, no matter what you are doing." |
