“And when we do listen, stop exotifying the differences.”
Kate Molleson, Sound Within Sound: Radical Composers of the Twentieth Century

“Her persuit [Annea Lockwood] was the opposite: she wanted to see where close listening and attention to process might get her. Above all, she searched for sounds that were rich and complex enough to trigger a wake-up call. Her hunch was that if we allow ourselves to listen properly, if we start to really feel a sound in our bodies, we might also start to take more notice of the thing that made it. If that thing is a river, or a cat, or a neighbourhood, or a fellow human being, we might start to care about the source in new and deeper ways.”
Kate Molleson, Sound Within Sound: Opening Our Ears to the Twentieth Century
