We're putting together a list of resources for self-education, mutual aid, and ongoing action in the struggle for racial justice.

What I Learn from Pauline Oliveros

By Craig Shepard

Although she passed away last November, Pauline remains very present for me, and I find that her spirit and words come to mind a few times each week. I’m not alone: her work continues in the Center for Deep Listening, through her publications, and in the lives of many musicians and Deep Listening practitioners around the world.

What I Learn From... Christian Wolff

By Craig Shepard

How I know him: In 2002, Eva-Maria Houben organized a workshop called “Neue Klarinettöne” at the University of Dortmund, co-taught by Christian Wolff and Jürg Frey. I was the only trombonist among eight clarinetists.
