Pauline Oliveros 2007 Resounding Vision Award

Nameless Sound is pleased to present the third annual Resounding Vision Award. The award honors musicians whose efforts transcend aesthetics and resonate beyond the performance venue. It honors artists who follow a vision of progress in our communities.
Composer, performer and humanitarian Pauline Oliveros has profoundly influenced people around the world with her music, philosophy and teachings. Born and raised in Houston, Oliveros became known in the early 1960s as part of the San Francisco Tape Music Center, the first electronic music studio on the West Coast. While pioneering electronic music and being involved in early performances of important new music (John Cage, etc.), Oliveros also forged a path that lead her to become one of the era's most important composers. She was innovative in her use of technology, improvisation, theater and ritual in contemporary music. She created "Sonic Meditations," a body of compositions/meditations for musicians and non-musicians alike. From Sonic Meditations, Oliveros developed "Deep Listening," a philosophy of meditation practiced around the world.

I Lost An Honest Inch

Roger Stevens - Performance

We had the pleasure of staying with Roger Stevens and his lovely wife Jilly last week and here we see Roger performing one of his infamous Bodium Castle poems using a semaphore he has invented himself. A large shoal of huge carp and guppy appeared in the moat and flapped their fins in appreciation. Several ducks rotated and quacked a salute as he finished and waved his carrier bag of dried bread he often takes on these trips. Moments later Jilly was seen running along the battlements after some children who had booed his performance from the safety of the portcullis room. Later still on a tour of the castle we noticed some intriguing wooden chests in some of the dungeon rooms. Some had curious artifacts within - a tin of olives, a scouts woggle, a cork engraving of a newt and sprig of thyme. Roger amused us all by uttering the immortal words as he grabbed the herbs, "Look, I have thyme on my hands".

Tristan Tzara said to CLifford who read
DadaDeleuze:


Art is a private thing, the artist makes it for himself; a
comprehensible work is the product of a journalist. We need works that
are strong, straight, precise, and forever beyond understanding.

And CLifford Duffy who was Mona and her other selves. Laughed and
giggled saying I seen this movie before and before ....
