To start off this tour he staged an ensemble performance of Feel Free, at London's renowned Cafe OTO. For his ensemble, Pitre chose to utilize only one veteran of a Feel Free performance (Jesse Sparhawk) and for the remainder of the group he used English musicians who'd not played the composition prior. The resulting performance sees Feel Free taking new shapes and producing different energies than the studio recording.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBAYOU ELECTRIC:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor synthesizers, sine tones, amplified violin\/viola\/cello, field recording and custom software. \u003cbr\u003eWritten\/recorded\/reconfigured\/mixed July - October 2014, New Orleans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDedicated to Pitre's family: past, present and future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Bayou Electric\"\u003c\/em\u003e is the final installment in an unplanned trilogy, with \"\u003cem\u003eFeel Free\u003c\/em\u003e \"and \"\u003cem\u003eBridges\"\u003c\/em\u003e making up the first and second installments in the series, respectfully. All three works share similar characteristics, compositional processes, alternate tuning schemes, instrumentation and a certain ethos that the composer views as cohesive whole.

Upon listening to what he'd captured, Pitre become enthralled by the fabric of sound that the wildlife on this waterway had created. It evoked many feelings - such as how past generations of his relatives lived amongst these same sounds and walked the same land - creating a powerful connection and a sense of timelessness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePitre was set on finding a way to use this field recording in his music, but wanted to do so without simply adding it to a composition as just another layer of sound or by molding it (via 'processing') into something easier to work with. Instead, Pitre decided to start with the unaltered field recording and build the instrumentation around it, in a highly sympathetic manner, with the musical portion becoming accompaniment to the sounds of this remote land. This was the catalyst of \"\u003cem\u003eBayou Electric\"\u003c\/em\u003e and of primary importance to him, as a way to connect to his Cajun heritage in his own artistic way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imprec","offers":[{"title":"Black vinyl (Bayou Electric) + Blue vinyl (Live at Oto)","offer_id":12570331844,"sku":"imprec421bundle","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Color vinyl (both records)","offer_id":12570345860,"sku":"imprec421bundle","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/4654\/products\/pitrebundle_0.jpeg?v=1446135750"},{"product_id":"sauna26","title":"David Burraston - T.H.

A relentless fever dream, as the Wolfe brothers subvert genre with a sense of poetic realism. Esteemed cinematographer Robbie Ryan (Fish Tank, Wuthering Heights) brings a haunted beauty to the landscapes and faces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDue for release in the UK on February 27th 2015, the film has already garnered praise at the Cannes Directors' Fortnight and the London Film Festival from Dazed \u0026amp; Confused (\"one of the most exciting British debuts for years\"), the Guardian (\"John Ford on the Yorkshire moors ... a fierce and boldly questioning drama\") and The Hollywood Reporter (\"gripping, highly charged\").\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking inspiration from such classics as the Popul Vuh score to Werner Herzog's Aguirre, the Wrath of God, Carmine and Francis Ford Coppala's Apocalypse Now soundtrack and the opening moments of High Plains Drifter combined with the influence of Swans, Tim Hecker and English Tudor choral music, Catch Me Daddy almost exclusively uses a deliberately limited instrumental palette of piano, percussion and oscillators twisted, gnarled and ghosted beyond recognition to realize the sound of the biting moorland wind as it hammers against metal doors and rusted corrugated roofs, sings in the lonely high tension wires and distant choirs howl into the swirling darkness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe score was envisioned to gradually impart an increasingly mythic quality as the story progresses, a sense of something greater beyond the grey concrete and desperate cash-in-hand jobs where the iron heather, limestone cliffs and turbulent skies surrounding the battered dwellings re-frame this tiny human story into the epic dimensions experienced by the fleeing couple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlackened Crystal fades in the dread as whining oscillators circle above the heavy clouds blanketing the car parks and heathland alike. Then the amalgamated cues A Walk Up Eldon Street\/Hunting Through a Locked Door\/Falcon (For Jay Ali)\/Burning Fields III juxtapose the submerged epileptic machine judders of small-town existence against the promise of endless skies just out of reach: primitive gong rhythms and rusted piano clanks wrestle with cymbal chords, piano frame choirs and electric violin drones. Dobrudden continually jump cuts between staggering bass, throbbing pain tones, distorted running polyrhythms and shifting internal drones before the jagged tension finally breaks and utter panic sets in.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDescent From the Bridge in the next reel tracks the hunters stalking street by street, enormous bass caverns bloom under the sodium lights as bloodshot eyes try to penetrate the municipal gloom. By The Moorland Broke Loose the remnants of humanity are fighting against each other, wolves howl in the near-distance, torches search, find and chase their prey as Paleolithic rock impotently crashes and rages around them. The bitter ice-rain squalls ...On Calderdale Ridge wash hope down to its rawest form, ending with the initial core of the entire score: the lamenting roar of two wounded souls being torn apart by events way beyond their control. Then Leave This Place paints a sole moment of battered but undaunted tenderness with snatches of beauty half-heard and half-remembered through the Winter gales, before Waiting For the Brake Lights quickly drowns it out with its piston rhythms careering downhill.

No doubt the view during the day extends for miles on all sides, spilling down the sides of lush hills and rising upward to touch the clouds.

I believe that the former are just as effective as the latter, in the sense that the sonic presentation (distortion, filtering, wave shaping, etc.) are just as expressive as a chord change or chord type, and often reinforce said chord progressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Of all the years with Nine Inch Nails the period spent writing and recording the instrumental record Ghosts I-IV is probably the one which changed my approach to music making the most.

As a result the usual acoustic instrument timber is expanded into deep and rich atmospheres using the entire range of frequencies. The collages series are also a sonic application of British painter JMW Turner' technique to use layers of colors and textures to turn everyday landscape into powerful and expressive oneiric fantasies.

She is a true pioneer of Musique Concrete and electronic music recorded on tape.

There she would lie and listen to the sounds around her just as she did years later when she was imprisoned for spying on Nazi compounds in Arhus. Once released from prison she became a piano student at the Royal Danish Conservatory in Copenhagen, but chose to instead pursue the nuances of her inner sound world after hearing Pierre Schaeffer in 1952. She began studying with him not too soon thereafter.

I believe that the former are just as effective as the latter, in the sense that the sonic presentation (distortion, filtering, wave shaping, etc.) are just as expressive as a chord change or chord type, and often reinforce said chord progressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Of all the years with Nine Inch Nails the period spent writing and recording the instrumental record Ghosts I-IV is probably the one which changed my approach to music making the most.

'A lot of the best new music can't be captured in sound bites -- you have to listen for a long time. Of no one is that truer than Eliane Radigue, who lives in France, but whose unarticulated time sense brings her closer to La Monte Young in sensibility than to anyone in Europe. Listen to her exquisitely-sculpted electronic works for two, three, even seven minutes, and you may hear nothing but a drone.

Both artists have previously worked on this phenomenon; Jacob Kirkegaard in his work Labyrinthitis (2007) and Else Marie Pade in her work Faust Suite (1962). For their new joint piece SVÆVINGER, they remixed some of Pade's early (and hitherto unreleased) sound experiments with some of Kirkegaard's recordings from his own ear, thus leading the audience straight into the undiscovered labyrinths of their own hearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTRACK LISTING\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tracklist\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.

Svævninger is a collaboration between two Danish sound artists and composers, octogenarian Else Marie Pade and Jacob Kirkegaard, who's half a century her junior. Like Englishwomen Delia Derbyshire and Daphne Oram, Pade is enjoying a measure of appreciation denied her during her pioneering days - in this case, the middle of the 20th century, when she was her country's first electronic composer. Unlike them, she's not only still alive but also still working. Svævninger features long, glassy tones close enough to each other in pitch that they induce beating tones and lively otoacoustic emissions (sounds that occur only inside the ear). The effect is gorgeous and deeply affecting; Eliane Radigue might make something like this if she were trying to imitate the voices of jungle birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Imprec","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":9807109956,"sku":"imprec382","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Color LP","offer_id":12579103604810,"sku":"imprec382","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":13584191979594,"sku":"","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/4654\/products\/382_padekirk_web.jpeg?v=1446135994"},{"product_id":"imprec388","title":"Total Life - Radiator - LP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"details\"\u003e* Warehouse find - red vinyl \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"details\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"details\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeautiful new work from Kevin Doria (Growing), packaged in a deluxe 2 color screen printed jacket.

The original sound content is derived from recordings made by Arnold Dreyblatt of a Magnetic Resonance Imagining Scanner (\"Siemens Magnetom Symphony Maestro Class\") in a radiology practice in Berlin. Dreyblatt was fortunate to gain rare permission to record this device in operation without patients being involved. A technician from Siemens manned the machine especially for these recordings, searching for software settings related to their resulting sonic output rather than for scanning particular body areas. Dreyblatt treated the device as a giant \"Tesla coil,\" in which the alignment and resonances of a powerful magnetic field is gradually altered by rotating radio frequencies. Dreyblatt analysed and deconstructed the original recordings and grouped the audio segments by pitch, rhythm and density. The resulting five-channel composition of harmonically resonating, pulsating signals, sounded within this voluminous reflective space (with long delay times) is wonderfully captured in this recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"http:\/\/importantrecords.com\/sites\/default\/files\/twitter\/sauna14_fit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"488\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTRACK LISTING\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tracklist\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurntable History: Spin Ensemble (50:12)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Imprec","offers":[{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":9807136004,"sku":"sauna14","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/4654\/products\/sauna14_cover.jpeg?v=1446136018"},{"product_id":"sauna13","title":"John Bischoff - Field Transfer - Cassette","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/cassauna.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_self\"\u003eDOWNLOAD AVAILABLE VIA BANDCAMP\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eField Transfer projects the sounds from an analog circuit into juxtaposition with facets of raw digital audio.

Working across an eclectic array of aesthetic investigations, English's work prompts questions of field, perception and memory. English utilises a variety of approaches including live performance and installation to create works that ponder subtle transformations of space and ask audiences to become aware of that which exists at the edge of perception.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the past decade, English's sonic investigations have traversed a divergent path through which musical languages and environmental sources are granted equal focus. His work calls into question the established relationships of sound and structure. English's sound work is evocative and invites the listener to explore their own narratives and impressions informed by personal histories and experiences. Published widely on respected imprints including Touch, 12K and Winds Measure, English's work is sculpted and overwhelmingly intricate. The Wire noted his \"use of space and silence is remarkable,\" and U.S. sound journal Signal To Noise described the Ghost Towns work as \"extraordinarily gorgeous modern music concréte.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a producer, English has completed numerous projects with artists including Tujiko Noriko (U, Blurred In My Mirror), Ben Frost (Theory Of Machines) and Tenniscoats (Totemo Aimasho, Temporacha). He has also completed commissioned compositions for acclaimed performance troupe Circa and other contemporary dance ensembles and has worked as a sound designer on video installations in collaboration with artists including Australian visualist Craig Walsh. His music has also been used in a number of films including a commission from Makino Takashi to create a composition for The Low Storm in 2009.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnglish's installation and gallery practice is concerned predominately with challenging the understandings and expectations of site specificity, sound and media. His 2008 Trio For Objects exhibition presented three discrete sound installations (kinetic, prepared and sculptural) which when experienced in unison created a \"related sound field.\" In addition, the 3-screen video installation Ghost Towns, sought to create an abstract \"virtual map\" of remote Australian spaces. In 2006 English produced a series of sound art works specifically for the deaf and hearing impaired under the title Silence Listening. These works were among the first of their kind in the world, exploring and examining the notions of isolation and sonic interaction within these oft-marginalized communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutside of his recording and art commissions, Lawrence English curates a number of ongoing sound and media programs including Mono at the Institute of Modern Art and Syncretism at the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts. He produces the annual Room40 festival Open Frame (in Australia and London) and co-produces a number of other festivals including Sound Polaroids, Liquid Architecture and Frankly!. He continues to curate numerous conceptually driven art projects including Melatonin - Meditations On Sound In Sleep (for Next Wave Festival), Airport Symphony (for the Queensland Music Festival), Small Scores (for Valley Fiesta) and Audible Geography (for University of Tasmania). He has presented radiophonic works with the ABC, Deutschland Radio, ORF (Austria's National Broadcaster) and for the BBCs World Service.

From his interest in sound phenomena and harmonics Rabe was able to make one of the most deep, moving pieces of sustained sound generated in this formative era of minimalist electronic composition. Initially reissued on Dexter's Cigar in 1997 and now available on Important with expanded packaging including archival materials furnished by the composer. Amplified infinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"My interest in the makeup of various sound phenomena began many years ago. The basic physical preconditions were familiar to me, but I wanted to experience the components of the sound with my hearing. I attempted to 'hear into' the different sounds in order to grasp the components that made them up. I experienced how the overtones in a tone sounding on the piano change slowly as they die away. I also attempted to grasp the brittle arpeggio of formants that arises when a vowel is slowly changed at a particular pitch. I also tried, as far as possible, to train my hearing to tease out the complex processes that occur at the origin of sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"At the same time as this listening, I was concerned with monotony. My first feeble attempts yielded little: later, more systematic repetitions led to findings. I found methods by which the transitoriness of sound could to some extent be compensated. Small details and micro-variations between the repeated elements that would not have been noticed in a context richer in contrast then come to the fore. Extended sounds that change and move into one another very slowly have a similar effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Hobby experiments of the sort described, as I conducted them, are of course primitive from a theoretical point of view. But this basic experience was exactly what was important to me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The musical field indicated here is perhaps somewhat foreign to the Western musical tradition. In other living cultures it is entirely relevant. This state of affairs is, I believe, connected with the development of musical notation. As this method of fixing sound developed, all the subtler qualities of pitch, sound, and time relationships had to be leveled off. On the other hand, systems of notation first made possible meaningful musical constructions. This fact compensated for the loss just described, making possible the great tradition of European music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"In Western composition, intervals, rhythms, and tone color – to the extent that they eluded notation – were subordinated to a philosophical idea, or at least a motivic\/formal one. The sounding fact as such retreated into the background, and the West, in ethnocentric self-idolization, erected its own cultural tradition (be it Beethoven or Coca-Cola) as an example to the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"But there are in the world many fields of music in which the qualitative element grows from the immediate sound. In such music, one looks in vain for formal elements in the Western sense; this music may thus seem primitive, senseless, or even provocative. In reality, however, these are two different possibilities of musical organization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Indian musicians said to me that Western music is certainly good music, but they found its technique of phrasing incomprehensible: 'The music always breaks off before it has begun!'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"What What?? means: As you will hear, What?? is constructed from harmonic sounds. These sounds move into one another by means of enharmonic melding of the partials. I chose harmonic sounds because a pleasing richness results from them, but more particularly because the partials reinforce one another through their inner hierarchy, and can thereby produce certain illusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I chose the extended, seemingly endless form in order to enable peaceful journeys of discovery in the sound, but also in order to work with this particular material. Electronic devices have no muscles. 'Breathing' expressiveness is contrary to their nature; their characteristic quality is an enormous, tireless endurance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"About 85% of the material is made up of electronically generated tones, which however are never present in their static, original form. Each partial has been specially treated in itself, which can at times yield a very rich result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"What?? was created in the late summer of 1967, and was realized by me in the electronic studio of the Swedish Radio. The piece was presented for the first time in the same year as part of a collective evening performance (Signery) in the Stockholm Radio Hall by Jan Bark, Bo Anders Persson and myself.\" ~ Folke Rabe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTRACK LISTING\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tracklist\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.

Furthermore, he was \"there\" for people, support that is well respected. For over 20 years his spectacular piano playing propelled DLB concerts forward, but it was only recently during the editing of these January 2011 recordings that I discovered the depth of his playing, playing that I thought I knew!

She served as Distinguished Research Professor of Music at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Darius Milhaud Composer in Residence at Mills College.

monumental collection of electronic music by one of the true grandes dames of 20th-century composition, Pauline Oliveros. She was a pioneer in the field of avant-garde electronic music, joining the San Francisco Tape Music Center shortly after its founding in the 1960s and helping to redefine the very structure and assumptions underlying modern art music. This 12-disc box brings together an enormous program of her early recordings. (Given that they are tape-native works, it's not entirely clear whether they should be called 'compositions' or 'performances.') Most of these have never before been released, which adds greatly to the value of the collection. What diminishes its value (and accounts for a grade of A- rather than A+ for the release) is the really quite inexcusable lack of detailed liner notes. A skimpy 32-page booklet is included with the first CD case, and it includes a couple of gushing encomia from her colleagues, a brief note of thanks and personal history from the composer, and a longer essay that includes very brief notes on the works themselves - but what a set like this cries out for is a piece-by-piece description of the instruments used and the compositional techniques employed. (To give a piece the title 'The Day I Disconnected the Erase Head and Forgot to Reconnect It and offer no further explanation is just cruel - although I suppose one could argue that the title is essentially self-explanatory.) This lack of information is especially regrettable given the pedagogical importance of a set like this; for students of 20th-century music this box is a treasure trove, or could have been if it were more informative. That said, the packaging itself is both attractive and functional; as for the music, it's not always pleasant, but is consistently fascinating–and very much of its time and place. Despite the weakness of the accompanying materials, this set represents the rescue from oblivion of music that should never be forgotten and a watershed in the documentation of America's musical history. Grade: A-\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew York Times: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrange Sounds Led a Composer to a Long Career, by Steve Smith\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"'MOST people don't remember Wilma Deering,' the composer Pauline Oliveros said, recalling a formative influence from her childhood in Houston in the 1930s. Intrigued by sound from an early age, Ms. Oliveros had few role models to follow. Inspiration would come from a more unconventional source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"'Wilma Deering was Buck Rogers's co-pilot,' Ms. Oliveros said of the recurring character in 'Buck Rogers,' a science-fiction saga serialized by CBS Radio. 'She was not only a woman in a co-pilot situation, but she was a lieutenant and then a colonel,' Ms. Oliveros said. 'This was a very advanced idea for 1932.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"That Ms. Oliveros might find common cause with a courageous, assertive female leader, thriving in a futuristic milieu of instantaneous long-distance travel and telepathic communication, could only strike longtime followers of her work as prescient. Like her fictional forebear, Ms. Oliveros has become a trailblazer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Her path was not always smooth. 'Why have there been no 'great' women composers?' Ms. Oliveros inquired at the start of a famous article she wrote for The New York Times in 1970. Her essay enumerated some of the causes that had prevented female composers from achieving the success and renown afforded to their male counterparts, among them sex-based prejudice and societal expectations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Now, in a world that recognizes female composers more readily, Ms. Oliveros has captured enough ears, shaped enough minds and accrued enough renown to warrant a claim of greatness, though she would probably be the last to assert it. This year she has traveled widely for events celebrating her 80th birthday, including a memorable career retrospective concert at the Issue Project Room and a mesmerizing set by her Deep Listening Band during the Bang On a Can Marathon, both in June.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"More concerts loom. Invited to program a two-week series at the Stone, the vital East Village musical laboratory operated by the composer John Zorn, Ms. Oliveros claimed just one evening for herself: on Aug. 21 she will collaborate with the percussionist Susie Ibarra and the pianist Thollem McDonas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The rest of the series, which begins on Friday, will showcase colleagues, associates and protégés who have been involved with her Deep Listening Institute and its record label. Then, on Sept. 7, Ms. Oliveros will perform at the New Museum in SoHo with Doug Van Nort, an electronic musician with whom she works regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Still, she eludes induction into the pantheon. In place of scores suited for assimilation into the Western classical canon, Ms. Oliveros offers 'Sonic Meditations,' a 1971 collection of text-based contemplations, meant to facilitate communal music making. Deep listening, a discipline she developed during the 1990s, bypasses conventional music theory in favor of expanding consciousness through cultivating a keener ear. The Deep Listening Band, a long-running collaboration with the trombonist Stuart Dempster and others, pursues slow, ritualistic improvisation in unusually sonorous acoustics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"'I'm not dismissive of classical music and the Western canon,' Ms. Oliveros said during a wide-ranging interview at the office of her foundation in Kingston, N.Y., where she lives with her longtime partner, Ione, a writer and performance artist. 'It's simply that I can't be bound by it. I've been jumping out of categories all my life.' She laughed, a hearty sound that liberally punctuated a generous, easygoing conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Born in Houston on May 30, 1932, Ms. Oliveros described a childhood fixation on the strange special effects she heard in 'The Lone Ranger,' 'The Creaking Door,' 'The Shadow' and other radio dramas. \"'I was paying attention to that,' she said, 'and I was paying attention to my grandfather's crystal radio, where he was trying to tune in the programs and would get all this static.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"An avid accordionist from the age of 9, she took up the tuba and French horn to play in school bands and orchestras. While at the University of Houston, she studied with Willard A. Palmer, a revered accordionist and teacher. Eventually growing restless, Ms. Oliveros decided to strike out in search of a compositional mentor. 'I was 20, I had $300, and I had an accordion,' she said, chuckling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Drawn to California partly by Bach festivals in Carmel and Monterey, she settled in San Francisco, where she heard cutting-edge electronic works by Stockhausen, Berio and Pousseur on the Berkeley radio station KPFA-FM. When she received a tape recorder for her 21st birthday, she began to fashion her own pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"After completing a B.A. in music at San Francisco State College, Ms. Oliveros studied privately with Robert Erickson, an influential composer and the KPFA music director. She taught lessons and hustled gigs to make ends meet. A 1957 film-scoring engagement with the composer Terry Riley and Loren Rush, a bassist and koto player, introduced Ms. Oliveros to free improvisation. Invigorated by the experience, the trio experimented further and recorded the results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"'We developed a method, which was, don't talk about it, sit down and play, listen back, then discuss it,' Ms. Oliveros said. 'It was really getting into it through the listening process, and I've used that method for many, many years. We discovered that if we tried to impose rules or structure of some kind on our playing, it would fall flat. It was much better to converse openly.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"In 1961 Ms. Oliveros and two like-minded composers, Ramon Sender and Morton Subotnick, established the San Francisco Tape Music Center. A scrappy hub of creativity and technological advance whose effect is still being assessed, the center flourished until 1966, when its founders dispersed and Mills College absorbed its assets. Hired by Erickson in 1967 to teach at the University of California, San Diego, Ms. Oliveros remained there until 1981; she has since kept a toe in academia while pursuing a freelance career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"'Reverberations: Tape and Electronic Music, 1961-1970,' a new 12-CD box issued by Important Records, provides an overview of the rigorous works she created during the center's heyday. Many still sound startlingly current. But from 1971, when a period of intense introspection provoked by the Vietnam War resulted in 'Sonic Meditations,' Ms. Oliveros has moved decisively into ritualistic improvisation and communal experiences that can involve nonspecialist participants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Lately much of her effort has involved impressive technological advances supported by her foundation. The Deep Listening Band uses special software to create uncanny simulations of resonant acoustics in its concerts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Using telematics Ms. Oliveros performs in real time with musicians in other cities and countries. Adaptive Use Musical Instruments, an interactive computer program developed with her foundation's support, enables individuals with severe physical impairments to participate in musical improvisation. Even Wilma Deering might be amazed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Ms. Oliveros is aware of the tendency among some critics and listeners to dismiss her latter-day direction as a mystical anachronism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"'If you say 'deep listening,' that brings up New Age and crystals and whatnot,' she said. 'I regret that, but I don't regret it.

An open yet orderly system intended to produce potentially infinite variations of self-generating rhythm and melody was carefully created for this piece, allowing the sextet musicians to approach these factors in a freer manner.

It suggests that they should feel free to interact with (or ignore) one another, as well as with the random, real-time, computer generated patterns of guitar harmonics (the pillar of the work); therefore making intuitive yet rule-based decisions, in that moment of the piece, instead of relying on standard notation to dictate their every move. This approach creates a performance that is unique upon each occasion that it is performed; free from its own restraints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePitre set out to compose a piece as a musical lattice-work that was rich with layers and interweaving rhythmic patterns, superimposing themselves upon each another in ways that would at times synchronize with and without intention.
