Claudia and Tullis invite you to join them in considering your ear muscles and your collections of plastic musical data storage as simultaneously individual and shared. Within the framework of Points of Listening, two sound experiences will become opportunities for communal conversing. Though the starting point and approach of each work is distinct, the material in both cases negotiates the wonders of listening.
Auricularis Superior… or let your ear muscles roam meditates on the relational and gloriously multi-sensory nature of our listening, which frequently catapults us, via our imagination and memory, through time and space. It is experienced via headphones (which will be provided) and was created for Field Studies and hcmf// in tribute to the late Pauline Oliveros.
Muscle Memory is Tullis Rennie’s invitation to join him in the act of listening to listening. Listening as an event. The listener as collaborator. To consider music and identity in combination. Recordings catalogued as autobiographical accounts, and collective cultural documentation. To understand music as a performance in which we are all implicated and involved, whether by playing, buying, streaming, dancing, or listening. https://muscle-memory.co.uk/
