What sound turns you on? Blending performer and public, noted composer Pauline Oliveros will lead a World Wide Tuning Meditation, an interactive "sound-a-long" in which the audience becomes an instrument and those in attendance and in other parts of the world through free103point9's online radio transmission have their chance to make beautiful music together. Exhilarating and delightful, The Tuning Meditation is a unique sonic event for simultaneous voices participating worldwide and at Lincoln Center. Oliveros supplies the score, you supply your tone. For friends and family who participate in this event, you can visit the Deep Listening website to get a score and register in advance. Audiences members will also be treated to the EHRES (Extreme High Risk Entertainment System) featuring Oliveros in a quartet of performers -- Ione (spoken word/electronics), John D. S. Adams (modular electronics), Norman Adams (cello/electronics) and Oliveros (accordion/electronics) -- employing a groundbreaking system of acoustic and electronic interconnections for live performance. EHRES creates multilayered networks of connections allowing all sounds to be shared, processed and distributed to a multi-channel sound system.

free103point9 will coordinate eight radio signals from around the world beaming in their performances to be part of the show at Lincoln Center.

Radio stations/groups contributing include Lemurie TAZ (Czech Republic) reboot.fm (Berlin, Germany) Radio Corax (Halle, Germany), Neighborhood Public Radio (San Francisco, United States), sounDart (United Kingdom), and others to be announced.
