Repeated listening exercises always yield novel understanding each pass.

Evidence

Although repetition is emphasized, in practice the same exercise is never the same. Each repetition of an exercise invites the possibility of new understanding and the development of listening as a desirable practice or tool for living, learning and creative work. — Pauline Oliveros, Deep Listening, 100 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

Deep Listening practice is process training. … Each exercise is designed to set a listening process in motion. Attention to listening and ways of listening that may be new to the student are seeded and cultivated through repetition, practice and discussion. — Pauline Oliveros, Deep Listening, 98 (#expands, via linked claim)
