4. Reflecting Sound

4. Reflecting Sound

When composer Pauline Oliveros quoted Tibetan lama Sogyal Rinpoche on putting meditation in an equation with the wisdom of listening and the depth of insight in 1999, she had realized that her own listening skills were still continuing to evolve – forty six years after she started meditating on sound.

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.

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

Early 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. 

A grant from Berlin based Musikfonds e.V. enabled me to conceive a workshop in order to find out whether being familiar with such listening modes could also be helpful for others affected by misophonia.

Read more about this in the Misophonia section.
