DREAM SHADOWS DREAM
for Singing Masks, Automata, and Electronics
By Norman Lowrey

First presented with Caleb Lowrey for Ione’s 18th Annual Dream Festival, October 27, 2013 in Kingston, NY. Our version now is dedicated to the Deep Listening Dream Shadow Dreaming Spirit Pauline Oliveros.

All present are invited to join in this dreaming: listening, sounding, moving. All are welcome to play with shadows in Deep Listening joy.

What do shadows dream? Are shadows dreams? Are we dreaming shadows? Do shadows dream us? What is the source of the light casting the shadow Dream? What do shadows sound? How do shadows listen? If Pauline Oliveros is a source of light for us, are we her dreaming shadows? Or, as the objects on which her light shines, are we mindful of the shadows we cast? Are we dreaming this?
