Wauchope Arts Hall Oxley Lane (opp Bain Park),

'The Listening Sessions’ invite the audience into the collective musical mind of a group of musicians to experience an extended improvisation. This process focuses on really listening, an essential element of creating music in the moment. The audience is invited to listen in the same way and experience this creative journey that the musicians are making together. The musicians will create 90 minutes of new music by listening deeply to each other while improvising over a drone. Nothing will have been written or rehearsed beforehand. Nothing will have been discussed about the unfolding music except to choose the pitch of the drone that will be the foundation upon which the musicians build their music. It is this ‘Process' of creating the music rather than the ‘Product of the completed composition that is given precedence. In this way 'The Listening Sessions’ redefine music as a process rather than a commodity.
