Deep Time

Awhile back, when Fritz Hauser, David Gamper, and Pauline Oliveros got together to perform during the release party for this very disc at the Issue Project Room, I remember my focus drifting away from the performers to the shadows dancing on the wall just stage left. It’s amazing that listening to this CD right now conjures the same mental image: the dark outlines of leaves and tree branches gently moving in the wind. I don’t know exactly what Hauser’s composition Deep Time is all about, but isn’t it a little creepy that the CD cover, which I’ve never seen before, depicts a dark, shadowy forest. Cue Twilight Zone theme music…
