\nValencian accordionist and composer Isabel Latorre and sound artist Edu Comelles met in 2016 working on a third-party project. During that process Comelles recorded some samples of Isabel\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s instrument.<\/p>\n

A few months later, before Pauline Oliveros passed away, Comelles commissioned Latorre a concert meant to be a free musical interpretation of Oliveros\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Deep Listening theories and philosophy. The commission was meant to be premi\u00c3\u00a8red at the Ensems Festival 2017 curated by Comelles.<\/p>\n

In November 2016, news broke of the demise of Oliveros. What at first was a compositional commission became something else, a very special tribute.
\nLatorre kept working and immersing herself, physically and emotionally, into the ideas and philosophy of Oliveros, delivering a heartfelt concert, whose testimony is side A of this tape.<\/p>\n

By the same time, Comelles worked on a new composition arising from the 2016 recordings of Latorre. Inspired and encouraged by her concert, he finished La Isla Plana by the end of 2017.<\/p>\n

Both pieces are the outcome of two parallel and uncoordinated creative processes that became something else altogether: a tribute, an inspiration, and a farewell homage to one of the most influential musicians of the last century.<\/p>\n
