I am in the beautiful city of Budapest, Hungary to present a new 8-channel sound composition and presenting about ‘Listening Pasts – Listening Futures,’ the recent World Forum for Acoustic Ecology conference co-organized and hosted in New Smyrna Beach, Florida with Atlantic Center for the Arts. My octophonic composition is titled, “Auditory Respiration,” installed on November 22, the opening day. My presentation on November 25 is part of a Round table: How to Activate Ecology of Sound Beyond Listening?
