Commissioned by the Fromm Foundation and premiered at Hallwalls in Buffalo in March 1998, Primordial/Lift is one of Pauline Oliveros's large group pieces: accordion, voice and electronics in front of an ensemble that includes Tony Conrad on electric violin, David Grubbs on harmonium Anne Bourne on cello and Scott Olson on low-frequency oscillator.
The result is a dense, shimmering drone in two parts, 14 and 30 minutes long, where Deep Listening meets the sustained noise of Conrad's own violin music. Issued in 1999 by Table of the Elements as catalogue number 53, iodine.
