Popis: Engaging in music, being affected by it, and experiencing its in/audible effects, is achieved first of all by listening. Responding to music’s call happens in and through several different active–passive regimes of listening. However, this essay will demonstrate, first, that our contact with musical (as well as non-musical) sounds is most often multisensorial. Second, it will stand up for regimes of everyday listening that frequently have been treated with scorn by proponents of structural listening. Listening involves the whole body: visual, tactile, and even olfactory systems contribute in specific ways to auditory experiences. Listening also involves the mind: it triggers our intellect, emotions, imagination, and memories. Listening is influenced by the environment: and immaterial developments determine not only what we are listening to and when we can listen, but also how we listen: attentively, analytically, but also—and perhaps more frequently—distractedly, dipping in and out of concentrated contact with music.
