Listening is about presence. Listening means presence in time, place and space... Our ears are not just a tool for extraction but also tools for composition.
Lawrence English: Relational listening: The politics of perception in SACC2014
Listening: there is a second, prosthetic ear: the microphone
Sounds persists and yet shifts in a flux
Listening is attaching ourselves to the moment of flux

SUMMING UP SACC2014
PROVOCATIONS AND QUESTIONS FOR ME
What if you could hear your body? What if you could hear someone else’s body? What if you can hear what happens when your two bodies come into contact with each other?
How can you design a new kind of networked, collaborative musical instrument that affords both novice and expert use?
What kind of meaningful content can the artwork be about?

How to write a harbour symphony: Sound, organisation and urban-scale performance - Robin McGInley Department of Art History, Stockholm University
A eureka moment: not every sound art piece is digital. Harbour symphony. Huh.
Really beautiful: a CBC recorin of Pointe-a-Calliere Museum of Archeaology , Paull Stefffler/Don Wherry, 1995 Old Harbour Montreal
Vancouver has the largest harbour symphony 1986 hildegard westerkamp
Julian Day: Curating the itinerant body
“Thinking contemporary curating” is a book. “Creating a situation about which” something could be happened
Creating situations: the broader the situation, the less the distinction between creator and curation
“Sound is notoriously promiscuous”
“This itinerance” is difficult to work with. “Sound is not so clearly cleared away”
“This expanding and itinerary nature of sound comes into conflict with” public space. As people move through public space, public space moves with them. Sound is territorial.
Sound is relational. (See Brandon Labelle’s “Background noise”) “Voice is a unique sound: it exposes our interior architecture”
Walter J Ong: “Sounds would have magically originated from the interior”: it connects the interior of one to the interior of a mother.
"Relational Aesthetics”
Supercritical mass: his site specific project that pushes the idea of sound as an innately social phenomenon
Dispersed fields of identical sound sources
Taught process of entrainment
Atau Tanaka talked about this networked sound art work during the Sound Art Curating conference.
Perceptibility: “It’s easy to understand: it’s just one thing”, a vibrating string
You pluck in one city, but it might vibrate in another city
“Could the network itself has acoustical properties?”
This string is hundreds of kilometres long, so the sound would be impossibly low. So you could simulate this mathematically (plugging in stiffness, length, including aleatoric time)
Interesting about this that there is VIRTUOSO vs. NAIVE play!!!!!!!!!
Simple enough for gallery visitors. “How can we reconcile the long time that a musician [has devoted to practicing]" with "instant gratification" that a gallery visitor should experience within the few minutes they have the
Atau talked about the unusual discovery they made when both ends of the string were in the same building: “By being in the space you can appreciate networked pieces a bit more dynamically”
Global String, a collaboration with Kasper Toeplitz, is a multi-site network music installation, connected via the internet. It is a musical (...)
