Behind every great recording lies a series of choices—artistic, technical, and acoustic. This Listening Room session offers a guided exploration of how those choices shape our experience of music. Drawing from a wide range of examples, Mark Willsher and Charlotte Gardner open a window into the world of captured sound: how it’s made, how it’s perceived, and how evolving technologies continue to influence both.
With immersive playback in a carefully designed space, participants are invited to listen with sharper focus, deeper curiosity, and a new awareness of how recordings speak—not just through notes, but through sound itself.
