Show Notes

Stop - listen to the sounds around you!

Our today's guest is Marcel Cobussen, Professor of Auditory Culture and Music Philosophy at Leiden University. Marcel has recently published his book 'Engaging with Everyday Sounds'. It's a journey to rediscover sounds around us and transform how we listen.

We'll talk about what is an everyday sound, the politics and philosophy surrounding urban sounds, and how Marcel has integrated his own sonic experiences into a book.

We begin with a collection of sounds from Marcel's own journey from Rotterdam to London to bring you this episode. Bon voyage!
