Quantum Listening (second edition)
$23.00

ISBN 9781739371753. Silver Press. pb. 64 pages. 16 x 11.2 cm.

Fascinated by the role that sound and consciousness play in our daily lives, Oliveros developed a series of Sonic Meditations that would eventually lead to the creation of Deep Listening – a practice for healing and transformation open to all, rooted in her musicianship. This timely edition brings Oliveros’ futuristic vision – blending technology and spirituality – together with a new foreword and introduction by Laurie Anderson and IONE. In response to the anti-war movements of the 1960s, pioneering musician and composer Pauline Oliveros began to expand the way she made music, experimenting with meditation, movement and activism in her compositions. This title is a manifesto for listening as activism. Through simple yet profound exercises, Oliveros shows how Deep Listening is the foundation for a radically transformed social matrix: one in which compassion and peace form the basis for our actions in the world.

IONE has been dedicated to facilitating dreams for over fifty years, building upon ancient and modern dream practices to awaken the deep seeds of creativity located within them. Sharing this intimate part of our being, she believes, can be the start of new ways of being with each other. From dream workshops to her annual Dream Festivals, IONE has encouraged the creation of communities of dreamers – a vision, shared with Pauline Oliveros, of a harmonious, self-sustaining network of artists and dreamers that led to the founding of the Deep Listening Institute.

IONE’s exploration of the reality of the dream and the dream of reality over many decades has led her to appreciating the quantum nature of dreaming. The quantum theory of consciousness suggests that it can exist everywhere simultaneously in the fabric of the universe. Quantum Dreaming takes a non-linear journey through IONE’s memories; the dreams of her friends and community members; scientific research into neuroscience, cosmology and physics; and historical dream traditions from around the world, including The Dreaming of Australian Aboriginal culture, ancient Chinese Taoist philosophy and Haudenosaunee Dream Festivals. Like Deep Listening, Quantum Dreaming aims to create a radical shift in collective consciousness, across all states of dream and waking.
