In February 2024, Sonic Acts launched The Listening Room at the arts venue Zone Source in Amsterdam and an online radio channel to showcase multichannel sound works. Both the online radio channel and the physical listening room were an experiment in attentive listening and presented an embodied, ecological approach to sound. In this article Hannah Pezzack links these projects to the history of listening situations, referring amongst others Pauline Oliveros’ deep listening, and reflects on the outcomes of audience research. She argues that audiences resonated with the embodied, ecological approach to sound and that attentive listening is not only highly valued by listeners, but seen as essential to mental well-being.
