The Lost Art of Listening
Hilary Kleinig

The Lost Art of Listening is a research, development and composition project which investigates how people listen to music, each other and the world in an age of 24-hour connectedness and distraction. This App enables audiences to use their phone to play a vital and choreographed part in the performance of The Lost Art of Listening, a work for prepared piano and smartphone choir. The Lost Art of Listening brings people together to meditate communally on sound, music and listening and its place in human existence, framed by a stillness that is rare today.
