"Time Piece" (1993) by Pauline Oliveros is a work that combines three closely intertwined narrative elements related to the subject of time: (1) a time-poem by Oliveros made up of words related to time; (2) time-stories told by Fanni Green about her personal relationship to time; and (3) time-illusions evoked in the sound design and music by Oliveros, the feeling of time stretched and suspended, of time beyond. Co-commissioned by Harvestworks, Inc. and New American Radio.

In its ten years as a weekly national series, 1987-1998, New American Radio (NAR) commissioned and distributed over 300 original works: conceptual new drama, associational documentary, language explorations, sonic meditations, environmental compositions, musical explorations and works that pioneer new dimensions in acoustic space. Wave Farm is thrilled to be partnering with New American Radio to ensure these works remain available to listeners today and into the future.

New American Radio was organized by Helen Thorington, Executive Producer and Regine Beyer, Associate Producer. A special thanks to both Helen Thorington and Jo-Anne Green for their generous support and collaboration of this partnership, and their contribution to the field at large!
