Think of the sound of your own voice. What is its fundamental pitch? What is its range? What is its quality? What does it express no matter what you might be verbalizing or singing? What was the original sound of your voice before you learned to sound the way you sound now?
- From Sonic Meditations by Pauline Oliveros
And here are some great words from a letter about her role as a feminist composer-
Actually I am not that interested in composers and musicians. I'm more interested in listening than in being listened to. Eve's droppings. It's a time of reversals. As composer I am the audience, as performer I am the critic, as critic I am the maker. I don't want to lay a trip or an egg. I want to take one or eat it. I am the flying daughter who hears what she oughter.
