Deep Listening Band

Deep Listening Band is an American improvising ensemble formed in 1988 by accordionist and composer Pauline Oliveros, trombonist Stuart Dempster and Panaiotis. The group is known for playing with the acoustics of resonant spaces, beginning with its first recording, made in the Fort Worden Cistern in Port Townsend, Washington, a disused water cistern with a reverberation of about 45 seconds. The cistern session took place in 1988 and became the album Deep Listening, released by New Albion in 1989.
