Deep Listening and Field Recording

A workshop with Ludwig Berger
Workshop, in English, Shaughnessy House, 14 June 2025 to 15 June 2025, 1pm to 5pm

Join us for a two-day hands-on workshop for adults led by sound artist Ludwig Berger, inviting participants to attune to their sonic environment in dialogue with the themes of Oscillating Spaces. On the first day, the participants will focus on deep listening practices developed by Pauline Oliveros—an ensemble of sonic meditations, movement, and breathwork intended to deepen auditory perception. On the second day, participants will explore the urban soundscape surrounding the CCA, working with a range of field recording techniques to compose brief audio pieces that respond to our shared acoustic and built environment.

Open to 16 adults. No prior experience is required. Participants are expected to bring their own laptops and, if possible, wired headphones for the workshop on Sunday 15 June.

Workshop participation is CAD 35 for one day or CAD 60 for both days.

Please register here.

If you need more information, please contact 514-939-7002 or write to public@cca.qc.ca.

Ludwig Berger is a sound artist, musician, and educator whose work explores the sonic presences of organisms and places. He focuses on interspecies, geological, and architectural listening in landscapes. Trained in electroacoustic composition, he was a researcher at the Institute of Landscape Architecture at ETH Zurich and is a Deep Listening instructor. His practice integrates field recording, scientific inquiry, and speculative listening across disciplines. His work has received recognition from Prix Ars Electronica, the Sound of the Year Awards, and A Closer Listen’s Best Soundscape Albums of the Decade. Raised in a village in the Vosges-Palatinate Forest Biosphere Reserve (Germany/France), he is currently based in Montréal.
