The sonic world and career of composer Pauline Oliveros (1936-2016) featuring a 2008 interview with the artist conducted by David Weinstein for the radio station of the Clocktower Gallery in support of an exhibition at PS1 Contemporary Art Center (now MoMA PS1) entitled WACK: Art of the Feminist Revolution. We also hear solos and collaborative works recorded for the Roulette concert series dating from 1984 to 2014 including excerpts with the Deep Listening Band (Stuart Dempster, trombone, didjeridu and David Gamper (piano, "toys"), and a trio with David Arner (piano) and Doug Van Nort (custom electronics). The influence of Dr. Oliveros on contemporary music is unrivaled, from electronic innovations, sonic meditations, ceremonial works, the Deep Listening paradigm, her Expanded Instrument System (processing time and space), hot-wired accordion, and merging a social conscience with sound.
