2013 DL Art Science Conference Program.Pdf Across Boundaries, Across Abilities Deep Listening Institute, Ltd. 77 Cornell St, Suite 303 PO Box 1956 Kingston, NY 12401 www.deeplistening.org [email protected] facebook.com/deep.listener Twitter @DeepListening What is Deep Listening? There’s more to listening than meets the ear. Pauline Oliveros describes Deep Listening as “listening in every possible way to everything possible to hear no matter what one is doing.” Basically Deep Listening, as developed by Oliveros, explores the difference between the involuntary nature of hearing and the voluntary, selective nature – exclusive and inclusive -- of listening. The practice includes bodywork, sonic meditations, interactive performance, listening to the sounds of daily life, nature, one’s own thoughts, imagination and dreams, and listening to listening itself. It cultivates a heightened awareness of the sonic environment, both external and internal, and promotes experimentation, improvisation, collaboration, playfulness and other creative skills vital to personal and community growth. ; 2 Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) Troy, New York My hope is to inspire scientific inquiry and research on listening as well as to bring the world community together to share ideas and practice Deep Listening. --Pauline Oliveros, Founder of Deep Listening Institute Dear Conference Attendees, I am extremely pleased to welcome you to Deep Listening: Art/Science, the First International Conference on Deep Listening! This three-day event will feature an amazing array of lectures, workshops, posters and experience-focused presentations on a number of topics related to the art and science of listening. This includes many distinguished and long-time members of the Deep Listening community as well as a host of scholars and creators who approach listening from unique perspectives. My goal was to craft a call for submissions that elicited a diversity of thought on the subject; the resulting quality, breadth and number of submissions was so overwhelming that we decided to expand the conference from two to three days in order to accommodate them all. Further, this response is a very strong testament to Pauline Oliveros' mission and work in developing such a strong community of Deep Listeners, as well as her undeniable role in challenging us all to think more deeply about listening while attending to all that surrounds us. This conference is produced by the Deep Listening Institute (DLI) in coordination with exceptional support from the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). The impetus to produce this event stems from discussions with Pauline, myself, Deep Listening trustees and Dean Mary Simoni (Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences at RPI) surrounding the long-term stewardship of DLI, and the expanded role that RPI should assume in this process. This has led to an initiative, beginning this summer, aimed at heightening awareness of DL on campus. This includes a summer course on "Deep Listening and the Science of Sound" which I had the pleasure of teaching, and which follows the momentum of Pauline's very popular "Deep Listening" course that is offered each semester. This "DLI@RPI" initiative also includes the pre-conference workshop "Sound Sculpting and Deep Listening Through Electronics", and finally is capped off with the spectacular convergence that is this conference. On the one hand the goal of this summer Deep Listening activity is to strengthen and develop a focused center for Deep Listening contemplation, studies and experiences in a university setting. At the same time this conference is aimed at expanding and strengthening the international network of Deep Listeners, engaging from practice to theory with equal attention to scientific and artistic points of view. On a personal note, it has been an absolute pleasure and honor to work with Pauline Oliveros so closely as a friend/mentor/colleague in research, teaching, performing and listening these past years. As I leave RPI for a new venture, this culminating experience of working on Deep Listening: Art/Science has been deeply inspiring and affirming of Pauline's important work in developing this international community, and equally is a testament to your important place in growing this community further. Thank you all for being here, and I look forward to listening with/to you. All the best, Doug Van Nort, Conference Director 2 2 ; 3 DEEP LISTENING ART/SCIENCE Conference Organization Doug Van Nort, Conference Director Lisa Barnard Kelley, Conference Coordinator Cristyn Magnus, Technical Coordinator Program Committee: Tom Bickley Brenda Hutchinson Pauline Oliveros Jonas Braasch Norman Lowrey Ione Deep Listening Institute: Pauline Oliveros, Executive Director Volunteers: Ione, Artistic Director Allison Berkoy Lisa Barnard Kelley, Events & Marketing Heidi Boisvert Emily Halstein, Administrative & Finance Manager Tonio Bovoso Al Margolis, Label & Catalog Manager Alexei Bulazel Nico Bovoso, Graphic Designer Stacy Denton Casey Frensz, Intern Nikhil Deshpande William Raptor Loveridge Dickie Deep Listening Institute Board of Trustees: James McEntee David Felton, President Leaf Miller Jonas Braasch, Vice-President Tina Pearson Olivia Robinson, Secretary C.

  • Lesbian and Gay Music
    Revista Eletrônica de Musicologia Volume VII – Dezembro de 2002 Lesbian and Gay Music by Philip Brett and Elizabeth Wood the unexpurgated full-length original of the New Grove II article, edited by Carlos Palombini A record, in both historical documentation and biographical reclamation, of the struggles and sensi- bilities of homosexual people of the West that came out in their music, and of the [undoubted but unacknowledged] contribution of homosexual men and women to the music profession. In broader terms, a special perspective from which Western music of all kinds can be heard and critiqued. I. INTRODUCTION TO THE ORIGINAL VERSION 1 II. (HOMO)SEXUALIT Y AND MUSICALIT Y 2 III.

INTRODUCTION TO THE ORIGINAL VERSION 1 What Grove printed under ‘Gay and Lesbian Music’ was not entirely what we intended, from the title on. Since we were allotted only two 2500 words and wrote almost five times as much, we inevitably expected cuts. These came not as we feared in the more theoretical sections, but in certain other tar- geted areas: names, popular music, and the role of women. Though some living musicians were allowed in, all those thought to be uncomfortable about their sexual orientation’s being known were excised, beginning with Boulez.

A compositional tradition. Orpheus Research Centre in Music [ORCiM] 22-23 February 2012, Orpheus Institute, Ghent Belgium The fourth International ORCiM Seminar organised at the Orpheus Institute offers an opportunity for an international group of contributors to explore specific aspects of ORCiM's research focus: Artistic Experimentation in Music. The theme of the conference is: Composition – Experiment – Tradition. This two-day international seminar aims at exploring the complex role of experimentation in the context of compositional practice and the artistic possibilities that its different approaches yield for practitioners and audiences. How these practices inform, or are informed by, historical, cultural, material and geographical contexts will be a recurring theme of this seminar. The seminar is particularly directed at composers and music practitioners working in areas of research linked to artistic experimentation.

  • Quarterlyspring 2000 Volume 49 Number 2
    AWI QuarterlySpring 2000 Volume 49 Number 2 ABOUT THE COVER For 25 years, the tiger (Panthera tigris) has been on Appendix I of the Conven- tion on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), but an illegal trade in tiger skins and bones (which are used in traditional Chinese medicines) persists. Roughly 5,000 to 7,000 tigers have survived to the new millennium. Without heightened vigilance to stop habitat destruction, poaching and illegal commercialization of tiger parts in consuming countries across the globe, the tiger may be lost forever. Tiger Photos: Robin Hamilton/EIA AWI QuarterlySpring 2000 Volume 49 Number 2 CITES 2000 The Future of Wildlife In a New Millennium The Eleventh Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 11) to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) will take place in Nairobi, Kenya from April 10 – 20, 2000. Delegates from 150 nations will convene to decide the fate of myriad species across the globe, from American spotted turtles to Zimbabwean elephants. They will also examine ways in which the Treaty can best prevent overexploitation due to international trade by discussing issues such as the trade in bears, bushmeat, rhinos, seahorses and tigers. Adam M. Roberts and Ben White will represent the Animal Welfare Institute at the meeting and will work on a variety of issues of importance to the Institute and its members. Pages 8–13 of this issue of the AWI Quarterly, written by Adam M. Roberts (unless noted otherwise), outline our perspectives on a few of the vital issues for consideration at the CITES meeting.

  • Trace-Approved
    TRACE ADKINS Proud To Be Here In the fifteen years since his platinum debut, Trace Adkins has released ten studio albums, three greatest hits packages, and thirty chart singles. He has also racked up four Grammy nominations and five ACM and CMT awards. Accomplishments like that – along with sales in the tens of millions – explain the respect Adkins has earned from Country fans and the industry alike. But there’s more. In recent years, Trace has made his mark as a TV and film actor, a voiceover artist, an author, a social commentator, a participant on NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice — and even the inspiration for a series of comic books. Along the way, Trace has endured his share of well-publicized tribulations, and the release of his latest album – Proud To Be Here – was marked by the same loss (and luck) that have shadowed Trace all his life. In June of 2011, as the finishing touches were being made to the album, the Nashville-area home Adkins shared with his wife and three of his five daughters was destroyed by fire. True to form, Trace thought first of his family’s safety, steered the outpouring of fan support toward the Red Cross…then got back to work. Adkins’ strength, focus and passion for fully lived life infuse every bit of his new project. Proud To Be Here is the perfect distillation of Trace's art, displaying once again his ability to pour emotional truth into his music, whether it is of the tender or the rowdy variety. The project celebrates committed love in songs like "Million Dollar View," "That's What You Get," and "Always Gonna Be That Way," the joys of the simple life in "Days Like This" and "Poor Folks," the lighter side in "It's A Woman Thang" and "Love Buzz," and life's highest priorities in "It's Who You Know." "There's so much on this record that's autobiographical," says the man with the soul-stirring baritone.

Elgin certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Lasting Implications of the Elephants’ Demise in Kenya and Tanzania __________________________________ Chairperson: Dr. Peter Ojiambo Date Approved: May 12, 2017 ii Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of elephant deaths on the livelihoods of the people living in Kenya and Tanzania. The trade of ivory and conservation resistance were examined as the key factors for the death of an elephant. The study determined that poaching through the ivory trade, and elephants being killed in and around conservation parks because of conservation resistance, is detrimental to human livelihoods. The thesis recommends that the ivory trade must stop in order for elephant populations numbers in Kenya and Tanzania to positively affect the ecosystem and livelihoods, and conservation parks must be managed by local people. iii Table of Contents Chapter 1 Introduction 1 Conducting the Research 2 Gaps in the Literature and Research Limitations
