ARRAY’S 50th:
PUBLIC WORKSHOPS –
QUANTUM LISTENING with ANNE BOURNE

  • Dates and times below

PROGRAM

A monthly sonic meditation and choir practice drawing from accessible and inclusive text scores and the Deep Listening pieces of Pauline Oliveros 1932-2016. Open to all levels of experience. The text scores propose listening strategies and voice toning based on the seven vowels, the breath, and instinct as sources for lively collective improvisation. The listening offers an experience of Taoist Qi Gong, multisensory perception in a more than human sound field, evoking a sonic memory archive, and well being. Note: daytime sessions may include a walk outdoors.

ABOUT ANNE BOURNE

Anne Bourne, a composer/ artist seasoned in international intermedia creation, performance and recording; improvises emergent streams of sonics, AV field recordings and text. Anne offers gatherings for collective creativity drawing from the sonic meditations, text scores and deep listening practice of Pauline Oliveros. Faculty at the Center for Deep Listening, NY; Chalmers Fellow; ongoing participant in TBA21 Academy/ OceanSpace, Venice. Her recent work, adjacent to sculptural installation Confluence, was a multichannel audio installation titled soundfield: nearshore, in resonance with the buried tributaries under the Gardiner Expressway.  Anne explores themes of equanimity, translation, microtonal sound, listening, walking the littoral as embodied sonic archiving, within a more than human sound field, and composing in attunement to the wave patterns of water.
