Improvising Across Abilities: Pauline Oliveros and the Adaptive Use Musical Instrument
Improvising Across Abilities: Pauline Oliveros and the Adaptive Use Musical Instrument (AUMI) brings together scholars, musicians, and family members of people with disabilities to collectively recount years of personal experiences, research, and perspectives on the societal and community impact of inclusive musical improvisation. One of the lesser-known projects of composer, improviser, and humanitarian, Pauline Oliveros (1932-2016), the AUMI wa…
Electro/Acoustic Improvisation and Deeply Listening Machines
In this paper we discuss our approach to designing improvising music systems whose intelligence is centred around careful listening, particularly to qualities related to timbre and texture. Our interest lies in systems that can make contextual decisions based on the overall character of the sound field, as well as the specific shape and contour created by each player. We describe the history and paradigm of ‘expanded instrument’ systems, which ha…
Auralizing in the Sonosphere: A Vocabulary for Inner Sound and Sounding
‘Auralization’ is a term coined by Architect Mendell Kleiner for acoustic simulations of rooms and buildings. This term is also apt for referring to inner sound and sounding, or sounds and sounding heard mentally. Generally the word ‘imagination’ is used with reference to all senses. Image, of course, is a visual term. So there is a cognitive dissonance when using ‘imagination’ to refer to hearing inner sound – for example a phrase of a new piece…

LMJ19 CD Companion Introduction: Listening for Music through Community
Networked Music: Low and High Tech
This article gathers some performances and research efforts that are devoted to networked music. Brief descriptions are used to present the ideas and opportunities that are continually arising and intriguing many musicians even though the prospect itself is difficult because of infrastructural needs and politics. There are more and more intrepid travelers willing to suffer the ‘head banging’ and communication difficulties that are part of this em…

Improvisation in the Sonosphere
The Sonosphere 1 is the sonorous or sonic envelope of the earth. The Biospheric 2 layer of the Bonosphere is irrevocably interwoven with the Technospherical 3 layer of the Sonosphere. Humans sense

Acoustic and Virtual Space as a Dynamic Element of Music
The author provides an overview of her background as a performer and composer interested in acoustics and technology. Her discussion ranges from a description of her practice of “deep listening” to her work developing the Expanded Instrument System—which allows the performer greater control over acoustic space—to her collaborations with other composers and instrument builders

The Lightning Box
with computer-controlled delay processors and lighting. It was created under my direction during a residency in the Media Arts Program at the Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada. The Lightning Box calls for the players, as they are listening to the sounds that they are currently playing, to also listen for and respond to repetitions and modifications of their own sounds as well as to each other
