Pauline Oliveros recorded two albums (Deep Listening, The Ready Made Boomerang) in the "huge underground resonating space of Fort Worden Cistern in Port Townsend, Washington"
Oliveros' coinage of "deep listening" comes from her work in this space: "it's a very challenging space to create music in, when you have forty-five seconds reverberation coming back at you. The sound is so well mirrored, so to speak, that it's hard to tell direct sound from the reflective sound. It puts you in the deep listening space. You're hearing the past, of sound that you made; you're continuing it, possibly, so you're right in the present, and you're anticipating the future, which is coming at you from the past." (quoted Toop, 248)
"The space itself becomes a very active partner in the creation but how you listen to it is how it gets shaped"
