Listening with Misophonia

2. Delving Into Sound

If you don’t like a sound, listen closely! For most people suffering from misophonia, that might come as a paradoxical advice. To be aware of the thoughts behind this idea, however, might change one’s perception of a situation when being triggered.

Sounds Central

From the futurists to hyperdub, musical ideas have constantly evolved. Sounds Central explores this vast area of experiments with audio essays, series, and thematic mixes from a pool of over 10,000 releases.

The selection doesn’t strive to be canonical, it rather comes from being a DJ who dislikes clichés and genres, but is fond of moving on the time line.

Listening with Misophonia

In 2021, I learned that I’m suffering from misophonia, a disorder that typically begins in childhood and that’s characterized by painful reactions towards certain sounds.

Knowing about my misophonia, however, I’m able to react more relaxed in some trigger situations. This ability could be due to having internalized forms of conscious listening as propagated by composers like Pauline Oliveros and R. Murray Schafer.

With a grant from Berlin based Musikfonds e.V., I developed an experimental approach to coping with the disorder.
