Listening Is Emitting

A listening workshop with Fran MM Cabeza de Vaca.

A force shakes an object. An object stirs the air around it. The air shakes the air shakes the air shakes the air around it. That air shakes the eardrum. And the eardrum then vibrates and, when vibrating, send a message inside, so alone there, only after, only inside, all this chain of movement, of information and writing is converted into sound. Are, well, the matter of sound.

Far from thinking of the ear as a lazy eyelidless channel that admits everything it receives without any filter., This workshop is an invitation to rethink listening —in the plural— as exercises in broadcasting, as a practice and a taking of agency according to which we listen to what we want, What we can, what we know how to listen. And understand from there that if the eardrum is a membrane it is, Likewise, a drum, a microphone, a speaker.
