Thirteen Changes (1986) Pauline Oliveros 1. Standing naked in the moonlight - Music washing the body. 2. Atomic imagery - Rotating molecules - Instantaneous particles dancing-Vanishing. 3. Solar winds scorching the returning comet’s tail. 4. Elephants mating in a secret grove. 5. Airborne carriers of transparent seedlings. 6. Songs of ancient mothers among awesome rocks. 7. A single egg motionless in the desert. 8. Rollicking monkeys landing on Mars. 9. A singing bowl of steaming soup. 10. Tiny mites circling one hair in the coat of a polar bear. 11. A solitary worm in an empty coffin. 12. A sip of midnight well water. 13. Directionless motion- Unquiet stillness - A moment alone with millions of people - Calming the waters - The aura of a black bird.
