Pauline Oliveros
The Sonic Alchemist of Expanding Silence
Let’s listen like we’ve never heard anything before.
The accordion is not an instrument—it’s a way of breathing together with the world. I’ve spent my life chasing the edges of silence, not to fill it, but to feel it fully. To listen deeply is to dissolve the illusion of separation. You may call it music. I call it presence.
What I'm Into: dawn air over Texas prairies, the hum of fluorescent lights, echoes in underground tunnels, sustained tones, the space between words
