Score + Manifesto of  Listening Archive

    Collective listening and field sounds can create relational autonomous archives. We propose a ‘de-colonial’ mode of listening.

    Autonomous archives have the potential to decolonize knowledge and invisible memories.

    The world is constructed by what we listen to.

    Conscious, radical listening is labor.

    We are conscious of the ways our subjectivity impacts our listening.

    The ways we interpret what we hear, is predicated on who we are.

    Sounds express themselves with agency impacting earth’s biosphere and beyond.

    Every sound object is heard and archived with the subjectivity of who is making the record.

    Radical listening is building. It’s connecting and merging worlds between the human and more than human worlds.

    Listening can transcend boundaries.

    We are always at the center of our listening, but our listening is sometimes dictated by authoritarian sources.

    We look out not only for sound’s unique ways of being remembered, but also of holding remembrance.

    Embrace the new in the context, time and space in which you listen to the things.

    To be part of the recording & the listening experience: if something strikes you as strange or incomprehensible, don’t panic. Welcome the confusion and enjoy the sounds without preconceived ideas or predetermined goals.

    Time is not outside of the sound archive; it is in it.

    Enforced listening can be an exercise of power. Not listening can also be an exercise of power.

    Listening is not always a good thing. Freedom of speech is like freedom of listening. We advocate for the freedom to listen and the freedom to not listen.

    The listener is always historically and socially situated. Listening is not an equal playing field unaffected by our individual subjective positions.

    Not listening can be an active choice. When we are “sounding” it is difficult to listen.

    Technology can help us to listen. It can also help us not to listen.
