The Center For Deep Listening

365 ARK 366, by laure.is.listening@gmail.com

This score is about recognising and owning inner musicianship. Its intimate approach, on the oneiric threshold, is tailored to stimulate, awaken and amplify the foundational crossing plans at the core of the Deep Listening practice. Paced throughout 365 days + 1 the score is offered more as a ‘curatorial structure’ for the Listener to engage with and, almost inadvertently, discover, discern, increase, deepen and harvest the building blocks of his innate musicality.

SHE, by Maria KAUTZANI

SOUNDING ROOMS, by Neval Tarim

I am an architect, sound artist and composer from Istanbul, Turkey. My studies focus on spatial perception and sound relations, using text, visual, and sound mediums sometimes as a design tool and sometimes as a representation tool. My works range from site-specific sound installations, sound design for visuals, audio-visual works etc. My text-sound composition and video work named “VIRO-MANIFESTAL” was exhibited in the local and global scenes. I recently completed my master’s thesis focusing on the potential of electroacoustic music compositions to create experiences of imaginary space. nevaltarimworks.com
