Oddly, perhaps, knowing Oliveros' work somewhat, I don't find the above pretentious or New-Agey. I take it seriously. Consider this 1st piece:
"-I-
Teach Yourself to Fly
Any number of persons sit in a circle facing the center. Illuminate the space with dim blue light. Begin by simply observing your own breathing. Always be an observer. Gradually allow your breathing to become audible. Then gradually introduce your voice. Allow your vocal chords to vibrate in any mode that occurs naturally. Allow the intensity to increase very slowly. Continue as long as possible naturally, and until all others are quiet, always observing your own breath cycle.
Variation: Translate voice to an instrument.
-II-
Search for a natural or artifical canyon, forest or deserted municipal quad. Perform Teach Yourself to Fly in this space."
The piece is designed to be performable by any skill level. The result cd include a feeling of increased power & ability thru solidarity w/ the other performers. This cd, indeed, be interpreted as a feeling of levitation or flying.… (altro)
