In one of her last interviews, composer, musician, humanitarian, and electronic music innovator Pauline Oliveros (1932–2016) discussed a lesser-known project, a computer and iPad application called Adaptive Use Musical Instruments, or more commonly, Instrument (henceforth “AUMI”).1 AUMI’s purpose is to support music makers of all abilities. It does so by making sound when the player moves, however the player moves, thus supporting what Pauline liked to call “improvising across abilities.”Pauline’s interviewer that day was Ted Krueger (henceforth “Ted”), architecture professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). Ted introduced his colleague as “an innovator over a lifetime of practice” with “an important place in experimental music.” At eighty-four, her creative advances continued: in composition, performance, technologi-cal innovation, and philosophy of listening. He then turned to AUMI, which he described as a computer interface “that provides an opportu-nity for children with a limited capacity for movement to participate in social music making.” He asked, “Can you talk about how that project [AUMI] develops out of and takes its place within your artistic practice?” (Oliveros and Krueger 2016, 282).Pauline responded with a summary of sixty years of creative explo-ration, emphasizing interconnections across all aspects of her practice. She described specific projects to illustrate her holistic approach to com-position, performance, technology, environment, inclusivity, and listen-ing. Innovations in making music with oscillators and reel-to-reel tape machines in the late 1950s and 1960s, for example, characterize her life long interest in using technology to expand her listening. Technology allowed her to explore sound “beyond the range of hearing.” It expanded how her body could create and perceive surprising sounds. This contin-ued through her Expanded Instrument System (EIS) of the early 1980s, and a later digitized version. Playing live with the continuously evolving EIS allowed Pauline to expand her awareness “of the intermingling of past and future sound” in the present.
