A Year of Deep Listening is a publication of 365 scores for listening gathered by the Center for Deep Listening in celebration of the legacy of groundbreaking composer Pauline Oliveros.

 Originally begun online, in honor of what would have been Oliveros’ 90th birthday (May 30, 2022), the project solicited and shared one listening score per day across social media, for 365 days. In book form, A Year of Deep Listening brings these scores together alongside ten commissioned essays that reflect on the themes that emerged over these 365 scores: that of listening to ourselves, to each other, to our surroundings, to the land, in movement, in dreams, through play, and through grief, gratitude, and healing.

 Stephanie Loveless is a sound artist, a Senior Lecturer at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the Department of Arts, and Director of the Center for Deep Listening at Rensselaer.

 The Center for Deep Listening at Rensselaer stewards and promotes the creative practice of mindful listening developed by groundbreaking composer Pauline Oliveros.
