About

(Deep Listening) Sound Jams: Method of Producing Collective Sound Based Publication is an exploration of experiments for collaborative making of sound publications. The thesis will follow the process of testing various combinations of tools, exercies and ideas for facilitation of sound jams. The thesis will document and explain the experiments as well as the research learnings. It will try to systemise the non-linear collection of tools and exercises.

The key issues I am interested in researching, are:
_1 // listen & respond - how deep listening is shaping the collective approach to sound-making?
_2 // what tools are there to collectively make/create sound-based publication?
_3 // what does it make it a publication - how to share/make public the collective sound creation?

• issue: what is the bridge between sound-making and sound-publishing in this method/process?

Mode of Address

The tone of address will be informal. I plan to use simple and straightforward language to communicate the process and learning outcomes in a clear way. I will address the reader, a fellow artist, facilitator or educator, as a partner in looking for ways to expand our artistic practice with new mediums and tools.
