CAN'T ENVIRONMENT
Adam Overton, October 2009

 

. . .

 

 

in a medium to large space
several (or many) people dispersed throughout
each practicing an action, movement, or thought that they can't* perform, i.e.
   . whistling
   . snapping fingers
   . curling one's tongue
   . raising an eyebrow
   . rollerskating
   . etc

 

proceeding seriously, without humor or laughter
for quite some time, taking breaks when necessary

 

 

* can't = something you are completely unable to do, not something you just think you do "poorly"

The Deep Listening Anthologies are collections of work by musicians and artists from around the world who have embraced the ideas of Deep Listening in their own ways. Inspired by DL's tenets of listening, openness and play, these volumes contain a wonderful variety of interpretations and integrations of global ideas into individual practices. This volume is the second Deep Listening Anthology, containing mostly instructional scores by composers, along with scores in traditional notation, poetry, visual art, and other writings. Over 45 contributors are represented in this collection for 2010. This book can be enjoyed as a resource for performers and ensembles interested in experimental music, as a statement of community among followers of DL practice and admirers of Pauline Oliveros, and as material for musicians thinking about possibilities.
