Speaking of Music: Pauline Oliveros, 1985

Having trouble even keeping up with all the greats passing on in recent weeks – Leonard, Leon, Sharon … and now Pauline Oliveros, American minimalist and Deep Listening pioneer.  

The Hum has a great Oliveros appreciation: “Oliveros was among the most striking visionary voices in the Post-War American avant-garde. Not only did she advance multiple fields within experimental sound – particularly tape music, field recording, electronic music, and synthesis, sculpt an entirely singular body of work (with voice, accordion, and beyond), and develop a number of new compositional approaches, her ideas and philosophies have completely remolded the way we understand our relationship to sound, and its organization as a participatory act. Though her name is rarely spoken beyond our ranks, she changed and touched the entire world.” 

Worth checking out via the Archive and the Other Minds collective – this Speaking of Music interview, featuring a lengthy chat and plenty of music. Don’t miss Pauline’s unbelievable accordion performance, “Rattlesnake Mountain.” Amazing. Of interest – Oliveros notes that she saw the Dead in Oakland the night before the interview was taped, and admired their state-of-the-art sound system. Can’t believe she wasn’t invited onstage during Space.

“We often have to explain to young people why study is useful. It’s pointless telling them that it’s for the sake of knowledge, if they don’t care about knowledge. Nor is there any point in telling them that an educated person gets through life better than an ignoramus, because they can always point to some genius who, from their standpoint, leads a wretched life. And so the only answer is that the exercise of knowledge creates relationships, continuity, and emotional attachments. It introduces us to parents other than our biological ones. It allows us to live longer, because we don’t just remember our own life but also those of others. It creates an unbroken thread that runs from our adolescence (and sometimes from infancy) to the present day. And all this is very beautiful.”

Umberto Eco (1932 - 2016, RIP)

Alex Chilton - KUT, Austin, Texas, November 1, 1978

Sunday re-up! Not for the faint at heart! Interestingly, I’ve learned Chilton was in Austin at this time for a semi Big Star reunion with Jody Stephens. Apparently it didn’t go well, but still – anyone have tapes of those gigs?

“I think this is a very lively bit of radio!” So says Alex Chilton happily on this half-hour tape of a 1978 KUT-Austin broadcast, presumably made in the very wee hours of the morning. Chilton could’ve easily substituted “lively” with “inappropriate.” Delightfully inappropriate, I think – though the easily offended should probably just move on. From the very distasteful “Riding Through The Reich” to his hilarious DJ trolling (which host Neil Ruttenberg takes in good humor), this is Alex at his most absurd. Don’t take it too seriously, he’s just fucking with you! He even takes a bathroom break at one point. There’s some fun music here, too – the whole thing makes a nice companion to the sonic anarchy of Like Flies On Sherbert, which Chilton was in the midst of creating at the time. Also of note: a Cramps cover. Rock hard!
