Final draft of my first listening activity, Ear Pilots. At the beginning of writing these activities, I had so many different issues and ideas I wanted to bring up. I was interested in stimulating thought about the histories of a place: what has been removed, transformed, and silenced. Also thinking about engagement with the non-human, and engagement with our own intuition, that of navigation. I ended up with a more simple piece that is very self-reflective. The self is a great place to begin! I also kept it curious and open to interpretation. Any reflections that arise will directly some from the listener’s engagement with the place.
