The Space Between

One of the more inventive collectives in improvisation, The Space Between is Philip Gelb, Dana Reason and Pauline Oliveros.

The Space Between brings together the freedom of spontaneous improvisation with a number of diverse traditions and ideas, not the least of which is the legendary Pauline Oliveros’ Deep Listening concept. In the Cadence review of their 2001 debut, 'The Space Between with Barre Phillips', Frank Rubolino wrote: As a unit they speak in a broken tongue of rarified beauty that is demanding but fully rewarding. One of the more inventive collectives in improvisational music, The Space Between is Philip Gelb, shakuhachi; long time collaborator Dana Reason, piano; and legendary figure of the American avant garde, composer and educator Pauline Oliveros, on her custom built just intonation accordion. Because they reside in scattered areas of the country, it is a rare treat to see them perform. Four very special performances, three with guest bassists, and each thoroughly unique, are available on 482 Music.
