pauline oliveros - deep listening/electronic works


Pauline Oliveros/Stuart Dempster/Panaiotis
Deep Listening
1989
New Albion

Accordion, voice, conch shell, metal pieces, trombone, didgeridoo, garden hose, whistling, metal pipes. Recorded in "the bottom of a cistern that once held two million gallons of water". Sounds gimmicky, but this is seriously one of the best things I've heard. Get yourself this record or you will die miserable and lonely etc. Also quite obviously a bit influence on bands such as Stars Of The Lid and Labradford.

As the title suggests, this is a compilation of (three) electronic tracks recorded in 65 and 66. I believe it has been deleted by the record company or something like that, for reasons that are hard to fathom. Undoubtedly "far ahead of its time" (ugh) and a fascinating look into the state of electronic music in the mid-60s. (sorry.)
