Project Description
I want to provide a space where we will explore the surrounding and different sonic of the space by focusing on listening. Practicing listenings develops a physical, mental and emotional relationship to the environment. Inspire by the world soundscape project by R. Murray Schafer and deep listening by Pauline Oliveros. I want to continue to research the relation-ship between soundscape and listener to keep the memory and archives of the sonic environment that is forever changing and even sometimes "deteriorating".
How to preserve and protect existing places and time in both natural and cultural environments? Therefore, I will record the field to investigate the city and find out what are the sonic key element of it which will inspire me to create workshops on listening in different area to help people reconnect with their surroundings.
Possible ways to expand the project
I am dreaming that this could continue to expand in peoples mind, after my talk and workshops for them to continue to be aware and to expand their sonic sensitivity. And I would dream of collaborating with architects, dancers and sound engineer to explore different possibilities for it.
