DEEP LISTENING BAND
October 24th, 8:30pm @ ROULETTE

Seminal new music ensemble Deep Listening Band was founded in 1988 by Pauline Oliveros (accordionist, electronics) and Stuart Dempster (trombonist, didjeridu) as a “collaborative exploration of sound and of social interaction between musicians and others”. Now with David Gamper (keyboards, electronics), the Deep Listening Band explore music through an interaction with space, 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.

“Deep Listening Band worships in a cistern chapel (and) explores the mysterious spaces between notes, where all is sweet dissonance and beading microtones…”
Marc Weidenbaum - Pulse!

“One of the loveliest, most restorative concerts I’ve heard in a long time.”
Tim Page - NY Newsday
