Pauline Oliveros, the composer whose concept of "deep listening" had a profound impact on the trajectory of 20th century experimental music, has died aged 84.

Creator of 'Deep Listening'

Oliveros' practice of "Deep Listening" arrived with her 1989 ambient album of the same title, recorded with Stuart Dempster and Panaiotis. The concept encouraged artists to adopt a sense of combining "music, literature, art, meditation, technology, and healing," according to Spin.

In her final decades Ms. Oliveros formed close bonds with groups like the International Contemporary Ensemble, which brought her work closer to the mainstream canon with performances at Lincoln Center, Miller Theater at Columbia University and elsewhere.

"I'm not dismissive of classical music and the Western canon," Ms. Oliveros said in 2012. "It's simply that I can't be bound by it. I've been jumping out of categories all my life."

Throughout her career, Ms. Oliveros maintained a lively intellectual curiosity, composing works based on subjects as diverse as 17th century African history, the inventor Nikola Tesla and Native American mythology. She was a compelling teacher, holding posts at Mills College in Oakland, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and elsewhere, and a prolific writer on musical subjects. She was also a tireless advocate for the place of women in music, discussing the exclusion of female composers and performers from the canon long before the question became commonplace.

The influential improviser and experimental composer coined the 'deep listening' concept that preached active and thoughtful awareness of sound.

Pionierin der elektronischen Musik

Wie einflussreich sie war, zeigte sich im Februar etwa bei der Berliner Transmediale, wo sie die Klänge ihres ferrariroten Akkordeons zusammen mit der live vorgetragenen Lyrik ihrer Lebensgefährtin Ione durch selbst entwickelte Software-Schleifen schleuste. Oder im Oktober in Montreal bei einer Vorlesung, in der sie angehenden Musikproduzenten erklärte, sie müssten erst einmal das Hören lernen, bevor sie die Welt mit ihren Sounds verschmutzen - worauf ihr stehend applaudiert wurde.
