A Year of Deep Listening
A Year of Deep Listening is a publication of 365 scores for listening gathered by the Center for Deep Listening in celebration of the legacy of groundbreaking composer Pauline Oliveros. Originally begun online, in honor of what would have been Oliveros’ 90th birthday (May 30, 2022), the project solicited and shared one listening score per day across social media, for 365 days. In book form, A Year of Deep Listening brings these scores together alongside ten commissioned essays that reflect on the themes that emerged over these 365 scores: that of listening to ourselves, to each other, to our surroundings, to the land, in movement, in dreams, through play, and through grief, gratitude, and healing. Stephanie Loveless is a sound artist, a Senior Lecturer at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the Department of Arts, and Director of the Center for Deep Listening at Rensselaer. The Center for Deep Listening at Rensselaer stewards and promotes the creative practice of mindful listening developed by groundbreaking composer Pauline Oliveros. I contributed the text score "Becoming a Time Traveler" where I invite the participant to listen to the different aspects of a painting, from its production to its dessolvement. (C)ovid's MetamorphosesI took part in this incresible project:
With a wide range of work by sound artists and musicians, writers, filmmakers, photographers, and visual artists, @ovid's Metamorphoses uses the COVID-19 pandemic and its far-reaching consequences as an instrument for change, artistic and otherwise. A play on experiment across various fields of artistic practice, all featured work revolves around ideas of transmission and inspiration, conjuring up a massive body of vital and daring artistic expressions unashamedly avant-garde. @ovid's Metamorphoses is a project initiated by Bernd Herzogenrath, professor of American literature and culture at the Goethe University of Frankfurt am Main and sound artist Lasse-Marc Riek. It features contributions from artists from the worlds of film, sound art and music, writing, visual art, and photography, intent on upsetting the idea behind Ovid's Metamorphoses, metamorphosis and progress through violence, and defining the COVID-19 epidemic as a possible counterbalancing act to the myths underlying Western culture. Throughout all the work presented here runs the idea of playfulness as a fundamental artistic act. Infection and transmission allow for an artistic practice that leaves behind the myths that have defined Western culture for centuries. The (c)ovid's metamorphoses box contains seven CDs, two data DVDs with short films, and a 200 pages full-color book with texts, photographs, drawings, and paintings. Neither the music nor any of the other work comprised in the box is available digitally. |
