[Reader-list] @Khoj Studios :: CITY & SOUND ::

[Iram Ghufran]

Delhi Listening Group invites you to:

:: CITY & SOUND ::

@ Khoj studios, Khirkee & surrounds, next Thursday 24th Feb 4-8pm

Discussion about sound in the city frequently returns us to the question 
of noise, without giving us space to explore the ways in which this term 
is slippery to define, and intimately connected to personal experience 
and our relationship to our surroundings. Beyond the technocratic 
definition of noise, according to the measurement of decibels, perhaps 
noise is what we hear when we refuse listening. a full-stop of sonic 
experience.
Listening is a process of composing and ordering the ways we attend to 
what we hear, perhaps noise is what we edit out of this meaning making, 
that which violates a specific order of listening.

We invite you to join us for a Listening Tour of Khirkhee and surrounds, 
to invite a wider world of sound into your attention, and perhaps 
discover new perspectives on the city we live in.
The walk will be followed by an open discussion in the Khoj courtyard 
through which we hope to arrive at better questions about the city and 
sound... topics may include, but are not limited to:

:: listening :: sound :: noise control ::  bio-acoustics :: sound in 
public space :: shared listening :: sonic art :: acoustic ecology ::

Before, during and after the walk and discussion there will be an 
installation of current work by Delhi Listening Group in the Khoj 
courtyard and studios.

* 4pm Refreshments commence and display of current work by Delhi 
Listening Group
* 5pm Listening Tour

space in Delhi.
