Composer, accordionist and founder of Deep Listening Institute, Pauline Oliveros, joins David Garland in the studio to discuss her life as a musician, the sounds of her childhood, growing up as a teenager in 1940s Houston, Texas. We'll hear how her identity as a lesbian composer has evolved over the decades, as we continue our Homophony Festival. We'll hear her complete piece, The Beauty of Sorrow, from the album Tara's Room: Two Meditations on Transition and Change. Also included will be music by Billy Strayhorn, Ned Rorem and Francis Poulenc.
