Open Spaces: Sound walks and attentive listening (session 1)

This workshop is part of our Open Spaces programme.

The practice of healthcare requires ‘deep’ listening and yet how much attention do we pay to sound in comparison to sight?  Sound artist, lecturer and musician, Dr Tansy Spinks (Middlesex University), will facilitate two workshops introducing Michael Chion’s three modes of listening. In between sessions participants will be given a score or ‘sound walk’ to follow in their local environment and some short readings reflecting on ways in which we receive, analyse and filter sound. These workshops are introductory and participatory.  All staff and students welcome.

Participants are encouraged to attend the second session.
