EMPATHY AS A LISTENING PRACTICE

EMPATHY AS A LISTENING PRACTICE

A live sound performance that treats listening as a compositional method. Using a directional microphone, the artist extracts fragments of sound from the audience and surrounding space and processes them in real time through analogue synthesisers, a drone machine and effects pedal.
The performance explores empathy through the uneasy line between attentive listening and intrusion.
