Music in the Air features Brown on piano and live computer signal processing and Oliveros on accordion, conch, percussion and Expanded Instrument System. The three pieces on the CD were recorded live in the studio with no overdubbing. Pauline Oliveros' life as a composer, performer and humanitarian is about opening her own and others' sensibilities to the many facets of sound. Since the 1960s she has influenced American music profoundly through her work with improvisation, meditation, electronic music, myth and ritual. She is widely known for her accordion playing with electronics using her Expanded Instrument System (EIS). She also founded Deep Listening Institute, Ltd. in 1985 to encourage others in the practice of Deep Listening for creativity and heightened awareness of sound
