• Note on Oliveros, Traveling Companions, No. 18 in the Anthology: There is no recording currently available for this piece; students are encouraged to create their own performance. There are many videos available online of other Oliveros works, such as "The Tuning Meditation," which models social interactions through sounds in similar ways to Traveling Companions:

"Using any vowel sound, sing a tone that you hear in your imagination. After contributing your tone, listen for someone else's tone and tune to its pitch as exactly as possible. Continue by alternating between singing a tone of your own and tuning to the tone of another voice. Introduce new tones at will and tune to as many different voices as are present. Sing warmly."
