Listening as Practice
The Listening Room is a space for intentional listening—where music is approached with the same care and focus as practice itself. Each post centers on a complete artistic statement and invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and return often.
Choose a post, listen all the way through, spend time with the prompts, and return when you’re ready to hear more.
