Deep Listening Band
Encyclopedia : D : DE : DEE : Deep Listening Band
The Deep Listening Band was founded in 1988 by Pauline Oliveros, (accordionist, electronics and composer), Stuart Dempster, (trombonist, didjeridu player and composer) and Panaiotis, (vocalist, electronics and composer). David Gamper, (keyboards and electronics), has since replaced Panaiotis.
The band is named after Oliveros' term, concept, program and registered trademark of the Pauline Oliveros Foundation, Inc., Deep Listening, and specializes in performing and recording in resonant or reverberant spaces such as cathedrals and huge underground cisterns including the two million gallon Fort Worden Cistern which has a 45 second reverberation time (this must be 4.5 seconds or 4 to 5 seconds, as 45 seconds cannot be obtained in even the most expensively designed reverberation chambers which have reverberation times of about 10 seconds at best).
They have collaborated with Ellen Fullman and her Long String Instrument, Joe McPhee and many others. They have also performed, recorded, and released John Cage's 4'33".
