Deep Listening Band members Pauline Oliveros, Stuart Dempster and Panaiotis have captured the fantastic acoustics of the Fort Worden Cistern, a cavernous underground watertank which possesses an amazing 45 second reverberation time producing pure, smooth reverberation which overlaps the original sound. The recording employs composer Pauline Oliveros' accordion and voice; Dempster's trombone, voice, didjeridu, conch shell and garden hose; and composer/designer Panaiotis' voice, whistling, pipes and metal pieces. (1989) "The sound is breathtaking: mysterious, pure, eerie wrap-around sound that sometimes imitates a heavenly chorus and sometimes a distant jet engine...a listening experience like no other." Melinda Bargreen, The Seattle Times

Now out as a DVD-R. Includes excerpts of Pauline Oliveros' Epigraphs in the Time of Aids with the Deep Listening Band and Ellen Fullman's Long String Instrument.

A stunning second release from the Deep Listening Band's foray into the Fort Warden Cistern in 1988. Band members are Pauline Oliveros, Stuart Dempster and Panaiotis. Guests include Thomasa Eckert, vocals, and William O. Smith, clarinet. John Cage wrote a mesostic called The Ready Made Boomerang in reaction to his first encounter with the Deep Listening CD. Consequently, the following appears in the liner notes to the Boomerang CD: "It is with continuing admiration and deep thanks that this recording is dedicated to John Cage for his loving inspiration and wholehearted support." (1991)

The Deep Listening Band (Pauline Oliveros, Stuart Dempster, Panaiotis) with guests Fritz Hauser and Julie Lyon Balliette explore the sound properties of the Tarpaper Cave in Rosendale, New York, in a special underground series of sessions which followed a concert in the cave. Pieces include Quarry Query, Cannery Row, After Dinner With The Trogs, among others. "Alongside awe, a common thread that links this band of intrepid sound pioneers is that of respect - for each other's musicals minds - and...for their environment...a respect for the sacred aspect of space." Peter Blum (1990)

A tasty variety of free improvisations excerpted from recordings of Deep Listening Band rehearsals and of the Band in concert.
