Description

“Theater Piece for Trombone” was composed by Pauline Oliveros together with Elizabeth Harris (staging) and performed by Stuart Dempster at a concert given in 1965 at 321 Divisidero Street in San Francisco. Charles Boone describes the action and setting preceding the very theatrical performance involving candles, hose, funnels and other unusual props. For this performance KPFA had telephone lines installed into the San Francisco Tape Music Center so that concerts before a live audience could also be heard live by the radio listening public.
