Pauline Oliveros
(1932-2016)
"Still Listening!"
Pauline Oliveros' life as a composer, performer and humanitarian spanned sixty years of boundary dissolving music making.
She influenced American music profoundly through her work with improvisation, meditation, electronic music, myth and ritual, creating a body of work with such breadth of vision that it deeply affects those who experience it.
Oliveros founded Deep Listening, a practice she describes as a way of listening to everything possible to hear at all times.
Pauline made Kingston, her home and established the Deep Listening Space and later Deep Listening Institute, which enriched the Kingston arts community for 30 years.
Oliveros received four honorary doctorates and multiple award and grants. Whether performing high in the Sangre de Cristo mountains, in an underground cistern, or at the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., Oliveros' listening commitment never wavered.
Oliveros' music and publications continue to emanate worldwide from Kingston through The Ministry of Maåt and The Pauline Oliveros Trust. paulineoliveros.us
