Before there is MUSIC, there is LISTENING

Listening is more than hearing—it’s awareness, attention, and connection. In this immersive episode of Divas, Ingénues & Vixens, Amity Bryson explores the radical philosophy of composer Pauline Oliveros through her book Quantum Listening. Through guided listening exercises, sonic reflection, and a reimagining of the Diva, the Ingénue, and the Vixen, this episode invites you into a deeper awareness of sound—both around you and within you. What do you hear when you listen to silence? What sounds live in your memory? And what might change if listening itself became a creative act? This is not just an episode about music. It’s an invitation to experience the world differently.
