Subtle sonic differences can spark new creative relationships

Evidence

Each listening meditation has unique dynamics, feelings, sounds and sensations that can be described and tracked in your journal. Sometimes you notice very subtle and quiet differences in sounds you thought were familiar. The slightest difference may lead you to new creative relationships. Such material recorded each time you do the listening meditation will give you a record of your progress in the expansion of your awareness and give you the eventual basis for an essay or article. — Pauline Oliveros, Deep Listening, 219
