The DeepListeningBand (Pauline Oliveros, Stuart Dempster, Panaiotis) with guests Fritz Hauser and Julie Lyon Balliette explore the sound properties of the Tarpaper Cave in Rosendale, New York, in a special underground series of sessions which followed a concert in the cave.
DeepListeningBand members Pauline Oliveros, Stuart Dempster and Panaiotis have captured the fantastic acoustics of the Fort Worden Cistern, a cavernous underground watertank which possesses an amazing 45 second reverberation time producing pure, smooth reverberation which overlaps the original sound.
Her music is not meditative in the sense that it is intended for listening to while meditating, rather each piece is a form of meditation, such as her aptly titled Sonic Meditations.
Oliveros coined the term "DeepListening", which she then applied to her group The DeepListeningBand and to the DeepListening program of The Pauline Oliveros Foundation, which she founded.
The DeepListeningBand, which includes Oliveros, David Gamper, Panaiotis and Stuart Dempster, specializes in performing and recording in resonant or reverberant spaces such as cathedrals and huge underground cisterns.
