In addition to listening in a concert hall or church—sitting in chairs and listening to the sound more or less motionless—there are increasingly other ways to adequately experience artistically designed sound. Composer, sound artist, and improviser Thomas Gerwin has made it his mission to explore new forms of listening and to develop them himself. This is achieved through sound walks, room concerts, concerts with loudspeaker orchestras, small and large, sometimes interactive sound objects, or even walk-in landscapes created from loudspeakers staged in space, as well as through multisensory listening, i.e., the inclusion of other senses such as touch, taste, or smell in contemporary, sensitive, artistic sound perception.
