The Ethics of Deep Listening: A Practice for Environmental Awareness
The Ethics of Deep Listening: A Practice for Environmental Awareness

Summary/Abstract: This paper is attuned to a frequency that searches for an embodied practice of an ethics of listening that considers the human other and other beings and things or environments, thus contributing to the ethical inhabiting of the more-than-human world. The paper presents the compositional and meditative practice of Pauline Oliveros, called Deep Listening, connecting it to the contemporary and emerging fields of sound research, such as acoustic ecology, acoustemology, and ecomusicologies, as echoing one another in the process of transforming the human attitude towards the environment into a more attentive sharing of our habitats and cohabitation in awareness.
