How many sounds arrive at once?

Deep Meditation gathers context around listening as an artistic practice: works, ideas, documents, and pathways for sustained attention to sound.

A listening proposition

Headphones and studio equipment suggesting focused listening

Listening can be a way of composing the present: patient, collective, and alert to the edges of perception.


A public marker for attentive sound.

In Kingston, a public plaza was dedicated in honor of composer Pauline Oliveros. The occasion recognized an artistic legacy shaped by experimental music, improvisation, technology, and expansive modes of listening.
