The use of ear prosthetics, microphones, and headphones allows explorers to revitalize a mediated and conscious listening experience; microphone recording enables the crossing of the threshold of the audible and navigating the boundaries between proximity and distance to a sound event; headphone listening allows the creation of a shared acoustic environment and a common area of intervention, a place for action and collective listening.
Peripatetiche dell’ascolto sessions provide a delightful and surprising opportunity to share individual and collective practices of active listening. The session involves engaging in exercises of active listening and sound production in continuous dialogue with the sonic environment and the group, concluding with a live set where the transition between ambient sound and electronically processed sound seamlessly blends together.
