The Well & The Gentle, two of the major works of Pauline Oliveros, are presented here in a first time reissue on double vinyl in a gatefold sleeve with extensive liner notes.

If Oliveros had followed a more conventional composer's path she may have, all social obstacles aside, been considered among the major minimalist and contemporary classical composers of her time. However, Oliveros approached composition in a more egalitarian manner. She wrote music for musicians to interact with or, in the composers words, she wished to create "an inclusive and interdependent and unfolding world of relationships."

Oliveros' propensity towards inclusion is part of what makes this work so remarkably distinctive. The Well & The Gentle is carefully crafted, allowing performers to participate in the creation of the work. Players are asked to collaborate, focus, react and make imaginative choices. Only then can the performers "pass through stages of awakening to the possibilities inherent in making music, working together, leading to the essence of what can shape musical impulses and individual freedom simultaneously."

Unlike most major composers of the era, Oliveros' work focuses on collaboration and improvisation. Lacking in the rigidity that often defines minimalist work of the era. For Oliveros, the processes involved in making music are as fundamental as the music itself. Oliveros creates, as Arthur Sabatini put it so eloquently in the liner notes,

"A world in which sound and the practices entailed in making music merge; become, at once, source and atmosphere, energy and essence, presence and dynamic."

Evolutions within the alterworld - Sector 3

a little while ago i made a track called "the sparrow", which was inspired largely by the novel of the same name by mary doria russell. more recently i have been using this little piano motif in my live shows which i explored in greater depth here, and ended up making something that reminded me of that earlier track, so i have named it thusly. this one is inspired by the first days of spring and the beautiful music of the song sparrows that i have been enjoying during my time spent outside. i recorded the piano parts on my kakwai ce-7 upright, and used some recordings of those sparrows for some digital sound design. i also found an old recording of some bass drones that i did with an arp odyssey when i had one, which seemed to fit well within the track.
