Recent releases from the Deep Listening Institute:
Telematic Circle – Tele-Colonization
Tele-Colonization is a compositional concept for a semistructured group improvisation for two or more co-located ensembles. It was recorded during the International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD) in Montreal on June 26, 2007, where the work was performed by two ensembles: Tintinnabulate and SoundWIRE. The main site was located in Tanna Schulich Hall at McGill University. Members of the Tintinnabulate ensemble performed in Montreal under the guidance of Pauline Oliveros. Three remote sites contributed to the concert: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with members from Tintinnabulate, Stanford University and KAIST in Seoul, South Korea. The SoundWIRE ensemble, directed by Chris Chafe, performed at the latter two locations.
Marc Jensen
Marking the Contours of the Eternal Moment: indeterminate scores 2002-2009Marc Jensen is a composer, performer, and improviser, who received his Ph.D. in composition from the University of Minnesota. Much of his work is oriented around composing relationships rather than specific sounds – setting up situations in which performers follow simple sets of rules to interact and produce an unpredictably complex whole, structures without content. His principle teachers have included Pauline Oliveros, Alvin Curran, Alex Lubet, and Doug Geers. Dr. Jensen holds a teaching certificate through the Deep Listening Institute, and has edited several books on Deep Listening. He has published articles in the journals Perspectives of New Music, Tempo, the Musical Times, and Cinema Journal.
Geoff Gersh – These Predicaments
Geoff uses manipulated field recordings, reel-to-reel tape recordings, zither and electric guitar, sometimes bowed with metal files, to create sonic landscapes that evoke the emotions of David’s paintings and take the listener on a melancholic sonic journey.
Triple Point – Sound Shadows
The trio Triple Point was founded by Jonas Braasch, Pauline Oliveros, and Doug Van Nort in 2008 and complemented by Stuart Dempster for this recording. The band derives its name from the thermodynamical point in the phase diagram where all three phases of water exist. Figuratively, this is where the trio operates exploring musical spaces and boundary conditions where contrasting ideas and streams can co-exist, while expanding the vocabulary of musical instruments acoustically (Braasch on soprano saxophone) and electronically (Oliveros, digital accordion and Expanded Instrument System, EIS, Doug van Nort on laptop and GREIS).
