Deep Listening Band

The Deep Listening Band, which includes Pauline Oliveros, David Gamper, and Stuart Dempster, specializes in performing and recording in resonant or reverberant spaces such as caves, cathedrals and huge underground cisterns. They have collaborated with Ellen Fullman and her Long String Instrument, as well as countless other musicians, dancers, and performers. Oliveros is the only constant member, although Dempster performs on a majority of the albums. Instruments used include accordion, trombone, didjeridu, garden hose, conch shell, voices and electronics.

Certain instruments might not be recognized as such by a casual listener, as they are components of a multi-layered ambient sound.
