Sounds carry intelligence. If you are too narrow in your
awareness of sounds, you are likely to be disconnected from your environment.
Ears do not listen to sounds; the brain does. Listening is a lifetime practice
that depends on accumulated experiences with sound; it can be focused to detail
or open to the entire field of sound. Octogenarian composer and sound art
pioneer Pauline Oliveros describes the sound experiment that led her to found
an institute related to Deep Listening, and develop it as a theory relevant to
music, psychology, and our collective quality of life.
