DEEP LISTENING: THE STORY OF PAULINE OLIVEROS

On Sunday 6th October 2024, Dover Street Market Paris host a screening of “Deep Listening: the story of Pauline Oliveros”, the documentary by Daniel Weintraub. The screening was followed by a listening session of Pauline Oliveros’ record “Dream Horse Spiel” and a video Q&A with Daniel Weintraub.

“Deep Listening: The Story of Pauline Oliveros” tells the story of the composer, performer, teacher, philosopher, technological innovator and humanitarian, Pauline Oliveros. She was one of the world's original electronic musicians, one of the only females amongst notable post-war American composers, a master accordion player, a teacher and mentor to musicians, a gateway to music and sound for non-musicians and a technical innovator who helped develop everything from tools that allow musicians to play together while in different countries to software that enables those with severe disabilities to create beautiful music.

On the vanguard of contemporary American music for six decades, her story illuminates the pathway to how we got where we are and where the future will take us in the worlds of music, the philosophy of sound, and the art of listening.

Produced in collaboration with executive producer lone, Oliveros partner in life and work, and the Ministry of Maät, Inc., the film combines rare archival footage, live performances, and unreleased music with appearances by Terry Riley, Anna Halprin, lone, Linda Montano, Laurie Anderson, Thurston Moore, Alvin Lucier, Claire Chase, Miya Masaoka, Morton Subotnick, Tony Martin, Ramon Sender and many more.
