Earlier today, Robin “Scanner” Rimbaud uploaded a conversation between Oliveros, Morton Subotnick, and Ellen Fullman recorded in December 2015 and featuring memories and stories about the early days of the San Francisco Tape Music Center.
One of Oliveros’ last public appearances was in October this year for the 2016 edition of the Red Bull Music Academy in Montreal. The 90-minute lecture includes a detailed look at Oliveros’ career, her innovations, including the Expanded Instrument System, and the beliefs and practices underpinning her “deep listening” approach and philosophy.
