Deep Listening® is a creative practice developed by the pioneering composer Pauline Oliveros, informed by expanding the range of audible forms beyond ordinary sound perceptions in daily life. The practice of Deep Listening is intended to heighten awareness of sound, silence and sounding.

 

Deep Listening® includes IONE’s Listening in Dreams, and Heloise Gold’s Deep Listening body experience.

​

I have been studying the practice since 2008, and in 2012 became a Deep Listening® Certificate facilitator. I am based in Bath, UK. I have offered Deep Listening meditations and taught the practice at Sound Art, Technology and Music Festivals, Museums, and Universities, across the world, bringing together cross-arts and interdisciplinary communities, to experience and reflect on their listenings, soundings and silences, within their communities of practice. 

​

In the workshops, I can incorporate my own scores exploring sonic migrations through improvisation: listening to languages and how we embody these, and telematic technologies in rituals for tuning in collectively sensing place and presence, using the INTIMAL App©.

​

I have taught in the following organisations in countries such as the UK, Brazil, Colombia, India, Spain, Germany, Mexico, Norway, the US, and the Netherlands:
