WEDNESDAY 20TH NOVEMBER | 7pm | £5 advance tickets
Listen Club is about listening together is in the same space, with the possibility of sharing impressions and casual discussion afterwards. Listen Club hopes to provide a counterpoint to the quick paced personal consumption of music with a more patient shared experience; a deep listen, together, in order to foster community.
Come join us for Listen Club 18 with renowned field recordist and musician Peter Cusack! Peter will play tracks in which music and the sound environment come together, where musics take on elements of the soundscape and where the acoustic environment is heard musically.
For millennia people have believed that the environment speaks through its sounds and have made music to communicate sonically in response. We live at a time of unprecedented environmental crisis. Can recognising the close relationships between musical and environmental sound offer different, more positive, attitudes to the world in which we all live. The evening will include flutes from New Guinea, oil atmospheres from Azerbaijan, killer whales off Norway and guitars with birds from home.
