We are losing our Listening (Treasure)
5 ways to listen better (Julian Treasure; TED talk; July 2011)
- Making meaning from sound (extraction, pattern recognition differencing, signal from noise, pink noise)
- Filters to pay attention (culture, language, values, beliefs, attitudes, expectations, intentions)
- "Sonority is time and meaning" (Jean-Luc Nancy)
- Visual and auditory cacophony / personal sound bubbles
- Impatience, sound bites, personal broadcasting, desensitivised
- Conscious listening creates understanding
- Exposure to silence
- Discriminate channels of sounds within an ambient sound
- Savouring: enjoying mundane sounds (the hidden choir)
- Listening positions : active/passive; reductive/expensive; critical/empathetic...
- Live to listen: listen consciously in order to live fully, connected in space and in time to the physical world around us
- Every spiritual path has listening and contemplation at its heart
If people were aware of sound quality and richness, they wouldn't tolerate that the art of cinema continues to rely on artificial soundtracks added in post-production for over a century now!
