Listening Listening Listening
Listening Listening Listening is a two-stranded approach to sound and listening in two different settings and environments.
When we listen to a sound, even if you and I hear the same source, the way we perceive it is completely individual. Our backgrounds, our age and even our mood affect the way we make sense of it. This is what makes sound art especially interesting for me. We all hear this but does it mean something different to each of us?
Listening Listening Listening is based on this question in two strands.
The first strand is a multichannel installation in the Gallery Space of the Goethe Institute Ireland. As this work is a fixed work it is much more individual, most likely listened to alone or in silence with others.
The second strand is a live performance in the Auditorium space of the Goethe Institute Ireland. This second strand focuses more on collective listening and the uniqueness of experiencing something together but having an individual perception of it.
Both works are made using sound produced from hand coded patches in Supercollider and Pure data. Both open source softwares.
This work features a sample of ‘What Will We Do When We Have No Money’ played on the concertina by Joseph Julian Grace.

The Garden of d@ta is an installation made of sculptures, performance-vidéos and sound that immerse you in a very special data center in 2050 - built by Maureen Morin, an eccentric tech entrepreneur. The installation is also the set of the performance by the same name.
This second strand of Listening Listening Listening by Samuel Julian Grace focuses more on collective listening and the uniqueness of experiencing something together but having an individual perception of it.
