_________________________

Subtle Listening is a mode of listening where one's imagination is open to the sound world around them, helping their inner ear and outer world intersect. 

The ‘Subtle Listening’ workshop is a workshop for musicians, media artists, filmmakers, composers, producers, sound designers, or any type of artist who wants to sharpen their listening skills. 

The workshop uses a wide range of techniques culled from Jungian psychology, Hermetic philosophy, paradox and Buddhist meditation, as well as thirty years of my own experience as a sound artist and electro-acoustic music composer. 

Through guided meditation, and listening exercises, participants will learn techniques they can use any time to help heighten their sensitivity to the sounds around them.

***please note that Subtle Listening is not: 
- a hands-on audio production workshop
- a master class in field recording
- how to listen to classical music
