Extended Listening Practices - Beyond the Human Ear
This workshop invites participants into a shared listening experience that goes beyond everyday hearing. Together, we’ll explore the surrounding environment by tuning into more-than-human micro-worlds like plant matter, the vibrations of machines sounds and also the wider city soundscape.
Through group listening, participants will learn how to listen more deeply. They will be prompted to tune into sounds that often go unnoticed. This workshop is especially welcoming to those who are curious about sound but may not have explored this realm before, while still offering depth for more experienced listeners.
All levels are welcome.
Needed:
Bring headphones with mini jack cable
Optional:
Recorder device ( Zoom, Tascam or mobile phone)
