Hidden in Plain Sight
Hidden in plain sight is the ongoing research attempt towards a commons-based and inclusive attention practice for classical music listening. Listeners with all kinds of backgrounds and musical experience (and especially none) met over the course of eight months to shape a collective practice where music perception was shared and interpreted with the same, undivided attention that it takes to learn a new language. This publication invites its readers to engage in the conversations and findings of the participants who took part in this research project, as well as giving space to contribute to a growing collection of perceptions, ideas and sensitivities.
What’s more, the publication is designed as an open archive. The metal file fastener holds the pages together, allowing for the addition of more content as the dialogue grows. ‘Hidden in Plain Sight’ thus functions as a living document that evolves with further iterations and your own contributions.
