Abstract

This project is a work-in-progress website that addresses, through a multimodal combination of audio, video, images, and text, the concept of embodied listening as developed by Steph Ceraso and explained by Evelyn Glennie. Moreover, taking up the issue of shifting from noise to signal that Damon Krukowski articulates in the podcast "Ways of Hearing," this project aims to use embodied listening as a way to address this shift. Specifically, three pieces for solo snare drum are analyzed within the context of multimodal, embodied listening, and the conclusions drawn from this analysis are recontextualized within the larger framework of our day-to-day listening, ultimately landing on how we can orient our listening towards embracing noise.
