The Quieter You Become

The Quieter You Become is an immersive electro-acoustic sound work that shifts through first, second and third person perspectives of listening. Seated within a forest of speakers, audiences are submerged in the psychological experience of how others hear. Developed in consultation with musicians experiencing symptoms of hearing conditions and performed by Tilman Robinson, The Quieter You Become encourages deep, humanistic listening and investigates whether we can truly trust our own senses.

How do listening and hearing differ? And how might hearing through the ears of another enable us to listen with more acuity?

Friday’s performance of The Quieter You Become will be followed by a Q&A with the artist.
