Deep listening is meditation embracing all perceptible vibrations

Evidence

Deep Listening is a form of meditation. Attention is directed to the interplay of sounds and silences or the sound/silence continuum. Sound is not limited to musical or speaking sounds, but is inclusive of all perceptible vibrations (sonic formations). The relationship of all perceptible sounds is important. — Pauline Oliveros, Deep Listening, 87
