4 hours sound walk | 2011
Besides listening to your favourite music tracks, friends’ voices, television or radio, what else? On July 17th, soundpocket organizes a trip with a series of exercises that discern different ways of listening. The itinerary covers several districts, including a picnic at HSBC Headquarters and a ferry trip from Central to Tsim Sha Tsui. Join us and find out how your ears would react to the sound of fountains, jars, parks, market, tunnel, wave, wind…etc. Exercises led by active listeners Tsang Sin Yu and Susie Law.
WAYS TO GET INVOLVED:
- join us in Sounds we might have missed
- put our earphones aside for one minute, one hour, one day
- listen again to what we habitually do; notice the texture of the sound
- stop making sound for a while and eavesdrop on those made by others
- treat our ears as if they are our greatest treasure
- listen to stories from the others: everyone has a right to be listened to
- make a list of favorite sounds (or least favorite ones)
- allow ourselves 5 minutes to do nothing but listening
