“There's no reason sound can't be appreciated wherever you're at. It's always there. We think something has to be dramatic or highly structured, but there's always structures to find in our minds. We have that freedom in our own being to be able to see with what's there, with what's here, with what's happening.” - Robert Holliday   Robert explores the intersection of experimental music and zazen from Buddha to John Cage, in a fascinating real time experiment in music, mind, and sound. What's the difference between music and being, composition and compassion? Where is the mind? What is the mind? What masterpieces have been waiting right here and now for us to find? Find out here!

Alien Territory: Radical, Experimental, & Irrelevant Music in 1970s San Diego (Billingsgate Media, 2023) is the untold story of a sleepy Navy town that became the unlikely gathering point for some of the most innovative, unclassifiable American artists of their time. The late 60s arrival of Harry Partch -- hobo composer, iconoclast and inventor of instruments such as the Harmonic Canon and Quadrangularis Reversum -- jump started a revolution that was as much social as it was musical, drawing on the occult, self-realization and radical political movements of 70s Southern California. Artists as diverse as Partch, Pauline Oliveros, Kenneth Gaburo, Roger Reynolds, Diamanda Galás, Warren Burt, David Dunn, Robert Turman and Master Wilburn Burchette may have pursued different paths -- Sonic Meditations, compositional linguistics, microtonal scales, invented instruments, cutting edge electronics, underwater synthesizers, Tibetan throat singing, environmental sound, pure noise -- but they also sought to dismantle the systems of American life and replace them with a radically inclusive and socially responsive aesthetic that looked to the future even when it sometimes referenced a distant, idyllically imagined past. In their pursuit of "Irrelevant Music" -- Kenneth Gaburo's term for an untainted music free of constraint and compromise -- these disparate artists constitute a shadow history of American experimental music far removed from the European and East Coast models of the time.

In the three-part podcast series Listening to the In-Between we highlight different aspects of Pauline Oliveros's Deep Listening® practice. We do so by providing backgrounds, practical listening exercises, and by exploring theoretical notions connected to Deep Listening.   In part I researcher and music journalist Joep Christenhusz explored Deep Listening, together with Ed McKeon and Ximena Alarcón, who are well-experienced deep listeners. Alarcón described the INTIMAL App© that she has developed over the last years.   In the second episode, Deep Listener Sharon Stewart invited us to participate in embodied rituals of attention, a practice of listening to or sensing aspects of power and powerlessness in the world that surrounds us. This reconnected her to the ground-breaking work of Audre Lorde, “Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power”. In this third and final instalment, 'Thinking with our Ears', Joep Christenhusz returns to Ed McKeon and Ximena Alarcón, featuring Sharon Stewart as well. They consider Oliveros's Deep Listening practice from several theoretical perspectives, thereby taking into account that theory and practice are always closely intertwined in Oliveros's work.    Starting from the Extreme Slow Walk, an exercise in sonic awareness, they navigate a fluid in-between space, where conventional binaries like theory-practice, self-other, active-passive and subject-environment start to dissolve. This outward and inward journey results in embodied knowledge about, among other things, the nature of attention and concentration, our relation to our environment and our experience of self.   The second part of this episode consists of a conversation with Ximena Alarcón on the notions of the in-between, sonic migrations, and the migratory experience, and reflections on the role of language in the presence and experience of self.   Show Notes In the podcast you hear the following audio fragments: Pauline Oliveros, Stuart Dempster, Panaiotis, Album Deep Listening, track 1, ‘Lear', reproduced by permission of PoP and MoM Publications.

As her career takes flight, the French-Italian mezzo-soprano Lea Desandre talks to presenter Sara Mohr-Pietsch about her love of baroque music, how her ballet training has influenced both her voice and stage presence, and the special musical alchemy that she experiences while collaborating with Thomas Dunford and the Jupiter Ensemble. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the late American composer Pauline Oliveros' Sonic Meditations – a series of text-based scores that instruct groups of people to practice ‘sounding' and listening together – Music Matters speaks to the improviser and saxophonist, Artur Vidal, and sound artist and researcher, Ximena Alarcón ahead of a weekend of performances at Café Oto in London. They describe how Oliveros' works broke with the conventions that separate composer, performer, and audience, and discuss how her Sonic Meditations became the blueprint for the composer's hugely influential Deep Listening school. As China eases its Covid restrictions, Sara speaks to the Shanghai-based journalist Rudolph Tang to learn how the country's classical music sector is returning to business after the pandemic. And, during rehearsals for Richard Jones' new production of Rheingold at English National Opera, Sara joins the musicologist John Deathridge backstage to hear more about his new translation of the first instalment of Wagner's Ring Cycle. She asks the musicologist Barbara Eichner about the nuances of creating a convincing, contemporary translation of High German epic poetry, and is joined by ENO's Head of Music, Martin Fitzpatrick, and music critic at the New York Times, Zachary Woolf, to discuss whether the enterprise of translating foreign language operas into an audience's vernacular remains relevant.

It's already episode 4 for this season, and today DECLASSIFY welcomes onboard the remarkable activist, tenor, composer and musicologist Jeremy Dutcher. Jeremy's music transcends boundaries: unapologetically playful in its incorporation of classical influences, full of reverence for the traditional songs of his home,and teeming with the urgency of modern-day struggles of resistance. A member of Tobique First Nation in New Brunswick, Jeremy first did music studies in Halifax before taking a chance to work in the archives at the Canadian Museum of History, painstakingly transcribing Wolastoq songs from 1907 wax cylinders. As he listened to each recording, he felt his own musical impulses stirring from deep within. Long days at the archives turned into long nights at the piano, feeling out melodies and phrases, deep in dialogue with the voices of his ancestors. These “collaborative”compositions, collected together on his debut LP Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa, are like nothing you've ever heard.  Listen to this episode as Jeremy and Victoria unpack the practices of listening deeply, bringing Indigenous voices to the table and the challenges of rematriation and repatriation.

This week Declassify welcomes onboard polymath, the composer, artist, broadcaster and writer Julian Day. Yet another familiar voice as an experienced broadcaster for ABC Classic to BBC Radio 3, Julian is now living in New York pursuing a Masters in Fine Arts at the University of Columbia. So, if you catch any ambient honking, it will give you a sense of the adventure he’s on right now. His work has proactively and deeply considered the relationships between the social, spatial and the sonic, particularly his co-direction of Super Critical Mass (since 2007), an ongoing participatory sound project. In this episode, Julian and Victoria explore the questions of: is the regimented essence of the orchestra model affecting or too closely prescribing our experiences of music? Is the space of the concert hall prohibitive to an audience having a higher level of agency in their experience? And how can we think about working with a new or more dynamic social models in which art-making and music-making can be participated in and experienced?-----RESOURCES (selected; for a full list please visit the episode transcript)Julian Dayhttp://www.julianday.com/Super Critical Mass https://www.supercriticalmass.com/Oliveros, Pauline. 1974.

Could 15 minutes a day be the answer for you to get the awareness and clarity, mindset, energy, sleep, healing and more that you are desperately searching for? The power of sound and frequency goes back into ancient times as is still used frequently today. For some this may be an answer for you to get into a form of meditation that you can easily implement and find useful compared to other methods. Ian Morris, has over 20 years' experience as a musician and has studied and worked in the performing arts field all of his life. He was raised around music and some say he was born with a natural gift of creativity. What lead him down this path of sound healing and frequency was his own personal struggles and journey through chronic illness and the anxiety and depression that came from being so sick. He explored sound and frequency using pure tones and then began creating music with these tones and other sacred frequencies to help facilitate his own healing. The results he experienced were astonishing beyond anything he could ever imagine. His family and friends noticed the miraculous change in his health and this led them to inquire more about what he was doing different. They wanted to experience this too.....and thus, Listening to Smile was born. He began working with small groups in his community and studied how frequency affects many different ailments, illness, and dis-ease of both mind and body. He even built a sound/frequency table so that the body could be completely immersed in the vibration of the tones and frequencies. Ian took feedback and input from doctors, psychologists, and holistic practitioners to streamline and solidify his services. His goal was to create a customizable experience. As the programs began to develop the clients were shocked and elated by the results. This work grew into the live sound healing events called “Sonic Meditations.” As more and more people wanted to experience his frequency music the program expanded into an international community. The perfect equation: Intention of the listeners, the healing power of frequency, his amazing talent and beautiful music, and consistency = healing for the body, mind, and spirit! Ian has seen firsthand how frequency music changes lives, not only in the hundreds of people from all over the world that he has worked with, but in his very own life with dyslexia and illness. Listening to Smile frequency music is transformational. The possibilities are endless for how LTS music can transform your life and heal your body, mind, and spirit.

This work grew into the live sound healing events called “Sonic Meditations” and multiple albums for listeners to incorporate on their own. Listening to Smile has now expanded into an international community. In this episode we cover topics like chronic illness and how it relates to victimhood, how desperation is powerful, the history of sound healing, and music’s effect on our minds and bodies.

In the mid-1960s, Pauline Oliveros was a composer of experimental electronic music. But at the end of the 1960s, shocked by the political violence around her, she turned away from electronic technology and towards to a different kind of experimentation, which Dr. Kerry O'Brien calls "experimentalisms of the self." The immediate result of this turn was Oliveros's Sonic Meditations, a series of instructions for group bodymind practice. This work became the seed of Deep Listening, a sort of musical yoga Oliveros developed throughout the rest of her long career. Dr. O'Brien joins JF and Phil for a conversation on practice, "gaining mind," the ritual value of art, the wisdom of the body, and whether Deep Listening is really best understood as art at all.

Meet the Composer continues its investigation of the odd, wrong-side-of-the-tv-set role of The Performer with a deep dive into the Sonic Meditations of pioneering American composer Pauline Oliveros. Oliveros manages to smudge at the distinction between composer, performer and audience with these simple, text-based pieces, which somehow pack an emotional wallop far larger than their few lines might suggest.
