Pauline Oliveros: telematic performance between Guelph / Bogotá , Colombia / Troy, NY

Featured together in a telematic performance accordion legend Pauline Oliveros performs live in Guelph with Anne Bourne (cello), Guelph's own Ben Grossman (hurdy gurdy) and Jesse Stewart (drums). They will be connected to two other sites, where they will be joined by Ricardo Arias on balloon (in Bogotá, Colombia) and Jonas Braasch on soprano sax and Doug Van Nort on laptop (in Troy, NY).  

For four decades Oliveros has explored sound through improvisation, electronic music, ritual, teaching and meditation. Oliveros has been honored with awards, grants and concerts internationally. Whether performing at the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., in an underground cavern, or in the studios of West German Radio, Oliveros' commitment to interaction with the moment is unchanged.
