about
Join composer and performer Marijana Janevska on an Interactive Workshop about Listening.
Listening is not merely a passive activity but an interactive process that involves both the listener and the sound. The mind and body are dynamically connected during the act of listening, influencing perception and experience.
Participants will dive into the psycho-physical aspect of listening. The auditory system captures sound waves and the brain interprets them as meaningful information. Music, speech, or environmental sounds can evoke a range of emotions, influencing moods and mental states. The body also responds to sound through changes in heart rate, blood pressure, or hormone levels.
During the workshop, they will go more deeply into the concepts of ‘quantum listening’ and ‘deep listening’, developed by Pauline Oliveros. Marijana Janevska will guide the participants through one of Pauline Oliveros‘ ‘Sonic Meditations’, where they will be encouraged to produce sounds with the voice and/or the body while emphasizing the role of listening and the exploration of sonic spaces. Eventually, the experiences and insights from the ‘Sonic Meditation’ will be discussed to apply to daily life.
