A curated listening session of water inspired sound art and music

A Listening Room is a new series of curated listening sessions by the School of Wild Listening.

Our first session: Liquidity, explores the many ways sound artists and musicians have worked with the substance and sound of water.

At what point does a dripping tap or a rushing river become more than a simple sound? When does listening allow us to explore our creativity and our connection to the earth more deeply?

Bringing together experimental composition, electronic music, field recordings and sound art, this curated listening session features works by Nick Roth, Galen Tipton, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Karen Power, Natasha Barrett, Matmos, Sora and Jana Winderen.

Moving between composed and environmental sound, the programme invites listeners to encounter water as a source of unexpected musical possibilities. From the sounds of glaciers to the hidden acoustic worlds beneath the water's surface, these works offer different perspectives on our relationship with the natural environment through listening.

Presented on Genelec monitors, the session offers an opportunity to experience a high-fidelity immersive, listening environment.

Part of the School of Wild Listening programme, Liquidity is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply and explore water through music, sound and the more-than-human world.
