There’s more to listening than meets the ear. Pauline Oliveros describes Deep Listening as “listening in every possible way to everything possible to hear no matter what one is doing.” Basically Deep Listening, as developed by Oliveros, explores the difference between the involuntary nature of hearing and the voluntary, selective nature – exclusive and inclusive -- of listening. The practice includes bodywork, sonic meditations, interactive performance, listening to the sounds of daily life, nature, one’s own thoughts, imagination and dreams, and listening to listening itself. It cultivates a heightened awareness of the sonic environment, both external and internal, and promotes experimentation, improvisation, collaboration, playfulness and other creative skills vital to personal and community growth. ; 2 Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) Troy, New York My hope is to inspire scientific inquiry and research on listening as well as to bring the world community together to share ideas and practice Deep Listening. --Pauline Oliveros, Founder of Deep Listening Institute Dear Conference Attendees, I am extremely pleased to welcome you to Deep Listening: Art/Science, the First International Conference on Deep Listening! This three-day event will feature an amazing array of lectures, workshops, posters and experience-focused presentations on a number of topics related to the art and science of listening. This includes many distinguished and long-time members of the Deep Listening community as well as a host of scholars and creators who approach listening from unique perspectives.
