Despite my disappointment that Chapter weren't screening the films about The Birthday Party, Redd Kross or Pavement's Gary Young, and that scheduling meant that I couldn't make either the documentary about Earth or Free Party: A Folk History, I was determined to make it along to see at least one film at this year's Doc'n Roll Festival, given that one of its host venues is less than ten minutes' walk from my front door.
Harry Sword's mighty tome Monolithic Undertow (to be reviewed here at some point) had piqued my interest in composer and electronics pioneer Pauline Oliveros, and so Deep Listening seemed like a sensible choice. While Daniel Weintraub's documentary isn't without its flaws, I certainly didn't regret my decision, and felt like I left the auditorium with a firm grasp of her ethos and legacy.
