Deep Listening Workshop

Discover the Sounds of Your World - With Tomie Hahn

Sunday, September 24, 2017
11:30 AM–12:15 PM
Sold Out

Deep Listening Workshops, as developed by composer and sound pioneer Pauline Oliveros, explore the difference between the involuntary nature of hearing and the voluntary, selective nature of listening. The practice includes “Sonic Meditations” (coined by Oliveros), body awareness, listening to the sounds of daily life, nature, one’s own thoughts, imagination and dreams. Through making sound and listening, participants cultivate a heightened awareness of the sonic environment, both external and internal, and increase their ability to experiment, improvise, and be playful with sound.

No previous experience needed.

“Deep listening is my life practice.” —Pauline Oliveros

This session is facilitated by Tomie Hahn.

Presented with the Center for Deep Listening at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
