Formed in 2018 to explore Pauline Oliveros’ approach to ‘Deep Listening’ with drone-based improvised music, tonight’s Three Plus One concert features Phil Durrant (electric mandolin, amplified objects and electronics), Lee Patterson (amplified objects, devices and processes), Bill Thompson (Moog guitar and live electronics), and Mark Wastell (tam tam and metal percussion).
All of these musicians have performed together in different combinations since the mid 1990’s and share a deep affinity for Oliveros’s Deep Listening approach to improvisation and music making. For Oliveros, listening was of central concern – not only to music, but to life. For her, it was more than just hearing, it was active and gave ‘attention to what is perceived both acoustically and psychologically…It allows age, experience, expectation and expertise to influence perception.”
This evening’s concert will explore these ideas and others within a layered-based improvised context lasting approximately 45 minutes.
All listeners welcome.
Presented in association with the University of Aberdeen Music Department.
