Various materials and resources will be used to aid us in the goal of Deep Listening as well. Each session, one or two participants will recommend a song or album for the group to listen to, then lead a discussion taking into account (if applicable) the different lenses previously mentioned. The goal is to share and analyze music together, potentially gaining new perspectives on songs or albums we may not have considered before.
