| november 2008 release ; super-deluxe double-lp edition commemorating the emerald anniversary of pauline oliveros, stuart dempster, and david gamper’s deep listening band ...
four extended pieces (only one of which, the one excerpted via the sound-sample, has been released prior to this set) each pressed onto its own side of a 180-gram lp, housed inside a double-wide jacket, housed inside a slip-case lp sleeve ... other than the site-specific opener (recorded in a quarry) , the rest all feature the trio in concert-performance; heavy on the live-electronic tip (c/o oliveros’ eis system) & the playing is fantastic throughout ... highly recommended !!! |
| | the deep listening band is an improvisational group founded in 1988 by pauline oliveros with members david gamper and stuart dempster. now, 20 years later, the trio celebrate an anniversary of improvisation, innovation and commitment with their first-ever vinyl release.
this vinyl-only document contains four side-long tracks, one reissued and three previously-unreleased. "cannery row" was originally available on the troglodyte's delight (1990) album and captures the band in tarpaper cave, which dempster recalls as "an old limestone quarry near rosendale, new york that had lovely dripping water sounds and valhalla-like mists." the previously-unreleased tracks were gathered from three separate live performances at the sounds like now festival, sound exchange american composers forum, and engine27, a 16-channel installation of special speakers.
the audio was mastered for vinyl by james plotkin, cut direct to metal and pressed on 200 gram virgin vinyl in a limited edition of 500. the records come packaged in a custom-designed slipcover and a jacket with doublewide spines. the slipcover features two exquisite photographs and is dual-finished with a gloss front and matte back. the jacket is printed on a cardboard brown stock with the pocket flooded green and features three rich essays including: an introduction by david felton, a short history by dempster and information about the expanded instrument system (eis) from oliveros. |
