365 scores for listening in celebration of the legacy of groundbreaking composer Pauline Oliveros.

A Year of Deep Listening is a publication of 365 scores for listening gathered by the Center for Deep Listening in celebration of the legacy of groundbreaking composer Pauline Oliveros. 

Originally begun online, in honor of what would have been Oliveros’ 90th birthday (May 30, 2022), the project shared one score per day across social media for 365 days. The book version of A Year of Deep Listening brings these scores together into one beautiful and historic volume. An expression of the Deep Listening community, the scores were created by over 300 artists—ranging from prize winning composers to ear-minded grocery store clerks, from those who worked closely with Oliveros for decades to those who never met her.

Praise for A Year of Deep Listening

"'To create an atmosphere of opening for all to be heard, with the understanding that listening is healing.' This generous, lifelong commitment to listening was, perhaps, [Oliveros's] most enduring 'Sonic Meditation': approaching the world with ears wide open, with as much courage as one could muster, pausing when necessary, and listening deeply."—The New Yorker
