We continue our investigation of the odd, wrong-side-of-the-tv-set role of\xa0The Performer\xa0with a deep dive into the "Sonic Meditations"\xa0of pioneering American composer Pauline Oliveros. Pauline manages to smudge at the distinction between composer, performer and audience with these simple, text-based pieces, which somehow pack an emotional wallop far larger than their few lines might suggest.\xa0\n---\nAbout the podcast:\nMeet the Composer is a Peabody Award-winning podcast that takes listeners into the minds and creative processes of the composers making some of the most innovative, compelling, and breathtakingly beautiful music today.\nFollow Meet the Composer\xa0on Twitter:\xa0@MeettheComposerLike Meet the Composer\xa0on Facebook:\xa0www.facebook.com/meetthecomposer\n---\nQ2 Music is WQXR, New York's multi-platform home for dynamic modern\xa0music.
