In the Field with Gordon Hempton

November 24, 2017 by Shaun Farley

In the Field with Gordon Hempton

I’ve heard some really great things in the past about the Wild Eyes recording workshop. Our own Luca Fusi did a write up about his experience. We’ve also recently heard about other similar workshops in South Africa and Australia. While it’s great to see the availability of these, my schedule is so unpredictable that it’s hard to commit to attending one. I started this year … [Read more...]

Sunday Sound Thought 13 – Contact Hearing

As the year continues, many of these posts will be philosophical in nature. Some will be in contradiction to previous postings. These are not intended as truths or assertions, they’re merely thoughts…ideas. Think of this as stream of consciousness over a wide span… In a previous post, I posited that perhaps hearing is a specialized function of touch. An experience I had on … [Read more...]

Top 5 Tips for Learning to Listen

An Acousmatic Invitation

August 29, 2014 by Miguel Isaza

An Acousmatic Invitation

An epiphany Silence! Be quiet! Because listening is active, because the birds have already left but their sound still reverberates.
