It’s a long time ago since there was any VINYL-release of the grand dame of minimal music, PAULINE OLIVEROS ! This one’s showing her at their tour with REYNOLS in New York, creating together beautiful minimalistic drone-improvisations with raw overtune-singing and lots of acoustical happenings inside, ... surrealistic landscapes appear and raw floating wind-sounds.. pure magic !!

“One of the most unexpected yet fruitful partnerships of recent years: in the mid-1990s, Pauline Oliveros, electronic music pioneer and sage of the environmental-drone, began working with Reynols, the prolific and resolutely undefinable Argentinian group. Their first joint effort sent Oliveros' music through the rigours of Reynols' heavily processed studio treatments; THE MINEXCIO CONNECTION: LIVE! AT THE ROSENDALE CAFE finds them collaborating on-stage in real time. Recorded in August 2000 during Reynols' first trek through North America, they offered up a version of "Six For New Time" (originally composed by Oliveros for Sonic Youth's GOODBYE 20th CENTURY LP), along with idiosyncratic throat-singing and hypnotic dream/dronescapes. The venue may have been a small cafe in rustic upstate New York, but the sonic results sound like emanations from the deepest of Deep Listening caves under the earth.” [label description]
