As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

"content": "\u003cp>This fall, contact was made with an alien from another galaxy. Maybe you didn’t hear about it, but it happened in El Cajon, a few miles from San Diego. A middle-aged being, clad in traditional earth garb — a light-brown suit, white shirt and conservative tie — sat in a chair on a stage, closed his eyes, and began to speak in a slow, hypnotic cadence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Greetings, friends,” he intoned. “I have been called the name of Kuthumi and I reside on the teaching plane of Orion and I also have a small dwelling on Eros.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be specific, Kuthumi was speaking through a human, but his message for Earth in these troubled times was of enlightenment and a positive future, a message that’s the gold standard of a group called the Unarians. Every year they gather for the Interplanetary Conclave of Light, a weekend of events open to one and all, events that include communication with those they refer to as the “Space Brothers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, some history. In post-World War II America, flying saucers entered popular culture. Some said that peaceful aliens were concerned about the Earth’s use of atomic bombs and their effect on the galaxy. Others believed the aliens were a mortal threat to all of mankind. It was in this atmosphere that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.unarius.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unarius Academy of Science\u003c/a> was born. The Unarians believed the former, by the way. They are all about love, learning and positive creativity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/298280840″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group was founded by Ernest and Ruth Norman. He was a scientist, a channeler and follower of spiritualism. She had worked as a fruit packer, a maid, a property manager and restaurant owner, among other things, and was interested in spiritualism. Both in their 50s, they met at a psychics’ convention in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1954, they created Unarius, and took the names Archangels Raphael and Uriel. He was, by most accounts, a shy, retiring man, content to channel the words of beings from Mars and Venus into volumes of teachings, ultimately numbering close to 100. She was quite the opposite, a strong, vivacious presence who loved the spotlight. It was a perfect union.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘There’s a peace of mind that comes over you. You no longer have that big fear of death.’\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>They claimed their program of reincarnation, spiritualism and self-mastery was channeled from extraterrestrials, and, as it grew from mail-order books into a brick-and-mortar academy with increasing interest from those seeking answers, Uriel blossomed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was a striking figure, a woman fond of dazzling wigs and vibrant gowns that evoked a mix of Glinda the Good Witch and Sun Ra. She said she’d lived for thousands of years, in various mortal incarnations. On camera, she often clutched a golden scepter or a single red rose. She appeared on David Letterman’s show. She drove a ’69 Cadillac with a UFO mounted on the roof and “WELCOME YOUR SPACE BROTHERS!” painted on the side. On special occasions, the UFO popped open to release a flock of white doves. Uriel was and is the guiding beacon of Unarius.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLOSqw62GeU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To this day, followers grow humbled and emotional when talking about Uriel, who died in 1993.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She’s a master that came to the planet with a special mission,” explains Unarian Paula Rich Greenwood. “To bring forward these energies and the scientific healing teachings, so that man could learn to heal himself through the understanding of past life therapy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Greenwood joined Unarius in 1982. The academy says there are currently about 60 members around El Cajon, but thousands around the planet. What draws them to this group?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was going through a phase in my life where I was very depressed and planning my own suicide,” Greenwood says, “and I had a near-death experience with a heart attack.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A colleague brought her to a healing ceremony at the Unarius Center to remove what she calls “lower astral entities.” It worked. She gave up her interest in the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, moving her allegiance to Unarius.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nick Sawyer, 25, was 17 when he discovered Unarius.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had an experience where my whole body transformed into a radiant vortex of energy and the whole room transformed as well,” Sawyer reveals. “The next day I went to the library as I usually did, and so-called randomly I was taking books off the shelf.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he plucked out “The Infinite Concept of Cosmic Creation” by Ernest Norman, a volume to Unarians what the Bible is to Christians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11223533\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11223533\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-800x552.jpg\" alt=\"Former minister Stephen Collins, a Unarian since 2009, flanked by portraits of Unarian co-founder Archangel Uriel.\" width=\"800\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-800x552.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-160x110.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-1020x704.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-1180x814.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-960x663.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-240x166.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-375x259.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/Collins-520x359.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former minister Stephen Collins, a Unarian since 2009, flanked by portraits of Unarian co-founder Archangel Uriel. \u003ccite>(Peter Gilstrap/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“What happened was when I walked through the door, I knew this is where I was supposed to be, just knew,” says retired minister Stephen Collins, who says he preached in Watts during the 1965 riots. “There was something missing and [Unarius] filled that. ‘Where did I come from, why am I here and where am I going?’ This answered it all.

Step inside, and it’s clearly not a post office anymore. The decor features the bold union of Greco-Roman and 1950s UFO iconography. Doric columns, statues of gods and nymphs, and ropes of plastic flowers hanging from chandeliers, along with flying saucer models and a painting of the galaxy that lights up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there are plenty of portraits of Uriel, in all her garish majesty.

On many of the planets they match the hair color to the dresses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, there’s probably a certain question in your mind. Is this whole thing a cult? You would be wrong, says Calvert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not here to convert, it’s not a cult. Religion could be considered more of a cult than we are. This is a spiritual school, a nonprofit educational foundation. Unarius gets into so many things. It’s a science but it’s an interdimensional science. It’s outside the box.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Far beyond the box is the group’s long-held prophecy of an interstellar palace of learning that will last for eternity. It’ll be erected by aliens on 67 acres of scrubland purchased by Uriel in the 1970s, a few miles from El Cajon. The Unarians ritually visit the site during every Conclave to look to the skies and wait.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their belief is that 33 starships made of crystal and gold will arrive from 33 planets, landing one on top of the other, stacking into the sky like a towering, cosmic wedding cake. Each ship will carry 1,000 professorial beings, each specializing in some form of the arts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And it basically will become a university for the earth world,” says Nick Sawyer, “more advanced than any university that we presently have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unarius may not be a cult, but it has a cult following. In recent years, their staggering canon of films, TV shows, costumes and music including the Unarius choir, And the Angels Sing — have gained unironic attention from artists and alt-culture fans in their 20s and 30s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Writer Jeff Gauntt and actress Julianne Tura fit into that demographic. They’ve driven down from Los Angeles, curious about the Conclave. After witnessing an entire weekend of all things Unarius — crowned by the channeled communication with Space Brother Kuthumi — they are impressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t want to be cynical enough to analyze it, I just want to sort of experience it on the level that they’re presenting it,” says Gauntt. “I do really appreciate the kind of sincerity and total faith they have in what they do. So I’m not going to be the logical person who’s going to say, ‘I don’t believe in this.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mind was really blown,” admits Tura. “This whole weekend was just one kind of mind-blowing thing after another. It was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so, six decades in, Unarius continues, spreading its message of love. And, though she has departed to a higher plane, through the magic of film you can still hear Archangel Uriel spreading her message, as she will forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And ever seek within thee, the love that I give unto thee, for I am infiniti … infiniti … infiniti …”\u003c/p>\n\n",

A middle-aged being, clad in traditional earth garb — a light-brown suit, white shirt and conservative tie — sat in a chair on a stage, closed his eyes, and began to speak in a slow, hypnotic cadence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Greetings, friends,” he intoned. “I have been called the name of Kuthumi and I reside on the teaching plane of Orion and I also have a small dwelling on Eros.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be specific, Kuthumi was speaking through a human, but his message for Earth in these troubled times was of enlightenment and a positive future, a message that’s the gold standard of a group called the Unarians. Every year they gather for the Interplanetary Conclave of Light, a weekend of events open to one and all, events that include communication with those they refer to as the “Space Brothers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, some history. In post-World War II America, flying saucers entered popular culture. Some said that peaceful aliens were concerned about the Earth’s use of atomic bombs and their effect on the galaxy. Others believed the aliens were a mortal threat to all of mankind. It was in this atmosphere that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.unarius.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unarius Academy of Science\u003c/a> was born. The Unarians believed the former, by the way.

He was, by most accounts, a shy, retiring man, content to channel the words of beings from Mars and Venus into volumes of teachings, ultimately numbering close to 100.

She said she’d lived for thousands of years, in various mortal incarnations. On camera, she often clutched a golden scepter or a single red rose. She appeared on David Letterman’s show. She drove a ’69 Cadillac with a UFO mounted on the roof and “WELCOME YOUR SPACE BROTHERS!” painted on the side. On special occasions, the UFO popped open to release a flock of white doves.

You would be wrong, says Calvert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not here to convert, it’s not a cult. Religion could be considered more of a cult than we are. This is a spiritual school, a nonprofit educational foundation. Unarius gets into so many things. It’s a science but it’s an interdimensional science. It’s outside the box.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Far beyond the box is the group’s long-held prophecy of an interstellar palace of learning that will last for eternity. It’ll be erected by aliens on 67 acres of scrubland purchased by Uriel in the 1970s, a few miles from El Cajon. The Unarians ritually visit the site during every Conclave to look to the skies and wait.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their belief is that 33 starships made of crystal and gold will arrive from 33 planets, landing one on top of the other, stacking into the sky like a towering, cosmic wedding cake. Each ship will carry 1,000 professorial beings, each specializing in some form of the arts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And it basically will become a university for the earth world,” says Nick Sawyer, “more advanced than any university that we presently have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unarius may not be a cult, but it has a cult following. In recent years, their staggering canon of films, TV shows, costumes and music including the Unarius choir, And the Angels Sing — have gained unironic attention from artists and alt-culture fans in their 20s and 30s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Writer Jeff Gauntt and actress Julianne Tura fit into that demographic. They’ve driven down from Los Angeles, curious about the Conclave. After witnessing an entire weekend of all things Unarius — crowned by the channeled communication with Space Brother Kuthumi — they are impressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t want to be cynical enough to analyze it, I just want to sort of experience it on the level that they’re presenting it,” says Gauntt. “I do really appreciate the kind of sincerity and total faith they have in what they do. So I’m not going to be the logical person who’s going to say, ‘I don’t believe in this.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mind was really blown,” admits Tura. “This whole weekend was just one kind of mind-blowing thing after another. It was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so, six decades in, Unarius continues, spreading its message of love. And, though she has departed to a higher plane, through the magic of film you can still hear Archangel Uriel spreading her message, as she will forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Mykee Ramen, said that on Friday morning, about eight inspectors from the City of Richmond looked over the building that he converted into a live-work space almost 20 years ago. By the early afternoon, without telling him why, they red-tagged the space, declaring it uninhabitable. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve been working off an off-grid solar system for power, and I don’t know what the law is exactly about that but I guess they can use that as cause to red-tag the building, ” Malin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city will be providing a list of violations by next week, according to Malin.

It’s an old building and eventually someone is going to want to put in something newer. So I’ve just been getting the most use out of it while repairing whatever problems come up.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite Burnt Ramen’s impact on the music scene — \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPMCtiTL4JE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">there’s a 2006 documentary\u003c/a> about its time as an above-ground music venue — it has been unable to officially host concerts since 2003. Yet Malin and others continued hosting shows, advertising them by word-of-mouth. It also hosted a recording studio. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After inspectors declared the building uninhabitable, Malin and five other residents were told they had to find new places to live.

Mykee Ramen, said that on Friday morning, about eight inspectors from the City of Richmond looked over the building that he converted into a live-work space almost 20 years ago. By the early afternoon, without telling him why, they red-tagged the space, declaring it uninhabitable. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve been working off an off-grid solar system for power, and I don’t know what the law is exactly about that but I guess they can use that as cause to red-tag the building, ” Malin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city will be providing a list of violations by next week, according to Malin. Richmond Planning Director Richard Mitchell told the \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2016/12/16/crackdown-of-warehouse-spaces-after-oakland-fire-reaches-richmond-underground-performance-venue/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>East Bay Times\u003c/em>\u003c/a> that the building “needs to be stripped down and rebuilt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Malin, 47, says he expected the city to pursue the venue after Richmond Mayor Tom Butt released a statement citing Burnt Ramen as the city’s own “Ghost Ship,” referring to the Oakland warehouse space where 36 concertgoers were \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/12/03/at-least-nine-people-dead-in-large-fire-at-oakland-party/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">killed in a fire on Dec. 2\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12493421\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Burnt-Ramen-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Michael Malin AKA Mykee Ramen playing at Burnt Ramen\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12493421\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Burnt-Ramen.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Burnt-Ramen-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Burnt-Ramen-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Burnt-Ramen-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Burnt-Ramen-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Burnt-Ramen-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Malin a.k.a.

It’s an old building and eventually someone is going to want to put in something newer. So I’ve just been getting the most use out of it while repairing whatever problems come up.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite Burnt Ramen’s impact on the music scene — \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPMCtiTL4JE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">there’s a 2006 documentary\u003c/a> about its time as an above-ground music venue — it has been unable to officially host concerts since 2003. Yet Malin and others continued hosting shows, advertising them by word-of-mouth. It also hosted a recording studio. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After inspectors declared the building uninhabitable, Malin and five other residents were told they had to find new places to live. Malin says his roommates hopefully have friends to live with — and he, at least, has a van. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"Q.Logo.Break\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch a trailer for a documentary about Burnt Ramen \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPMCtiTL4JE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Burnt Ramen has set up a crowdfunding site to raise money for repairs.

Many artists coming to the Fruitvale appreciate the neighborhood's diversity -- including African-American, Vietnamese and Middle Eastern communities -- and lower housing prices compared to cities like San Francisco, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"San Francisco is impossible to pay rent, and here in Oakland it's more affordable,\" Sanchez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11217120\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11217120 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23286_IMG_6451-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Makeshift memorials commemorating the victims of the Ghost Ship warehouse fire grew after news of the deadly incident broke out.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23286_IMG_6451-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23286_IMG_6451-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23286_IMG_6451-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23286_IMG_6451-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23286_IMG_6451-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23286_IMG_6451-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23286_IMG_6451-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23286_IMG_6451-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23286_IMG_6451-qut-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Makeshift memorials commemorating the victims of the Ghost Ship warehouse fire grew after news of the deadly incident. \u003ccite>(Farida Jhabvala Romero/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Local artist Favianna Rodriguez, who lives two blocks from the Ghost Ship, said artists have repurposed various warehouses and other old buildings from the Fruitvale's industrial past, particularly on the border with Alameda and along the BART train line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You see them, they are very frequent,\" said Rodriguez, co-founder of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastsideartsalliance.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Eastside Arts Alliance & Cultural Center\u003c/a> in the nearby San Antonio neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some arts collectives are well organized and engaged with the surrounding community, others remain more insular and functioning under the radar, Rodriguez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This institution in particular, the Ghost Ship, was not very engaged.

Maybe that’s why the album has such a spacious, unhurried feel to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"On the Ceiling\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/9zY77KOg6Zo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opener, “On the Ceiling,” sets the chill mood, with Jeff Babko’s oozing keyboard work adding to the gummy feel. Rather than building tunes from the groove up, Mayhall is all about texture and the slow burn. One of my favorite tunes is the power ballad “Dum Dum,” which adds New York tenor saxophonist Chris Speed into the mix, whose simmering horn part never comes close to boiling over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are so many drummer-led ensembles making interesting music these days it’s silly to say an album doesn’t sound like a drummer-led project, but Mayhall shines a generous spotlight on his collaborators, particularly Parker, who delivers some of his most beautiful and mysterious guitar work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farewell to Oliveros\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, I wanted to bid farewell to a brilliant sonic explorer who spent many years in California. \u003ca href=\"http://paulineoliveros.us\">Pauline Oliveros\u003c/a>, the composer, tape music pioneer and founder of deep listening, died on Nov. 24 at the age of 84.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From her work as a founder of the San Francisco Tape Music Center in the early 1960s through to her teaching at UC San Diego and Mills College, she influenced countless musicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her primary instrument was the accordion, and she taught several generations of musicians new ways of being and playing together, a practice she called (with her puckish sense of humor, since the name came to her while recording in an underground cistern) “deep listening.” Thank you Pauline, for all the music and all the wisdom.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
