The recording of The Dunrobin Session took place during a residency at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, during which Pauline Oliveros presented a series of concerts and workshops in collaboration with percussionist Jesse Stewart, who teaches music composition at Carleton. Oliveros and Stewart are composers, performers, educators, and writers, and each has pursued creative exploration of new instrumental resources while developing expertise on a traditional instrument (accordion and drum). Recorded March 16, 2011 by Johannes Welsch at the Dunrobin Sonic Gym, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
