Listen

Synopsis: In the spirit of John Cage’s historic and revolutionary composition 4’33’'--which challenges the boundaries of traditional music through four and a half minutes of intentional silence--Miroslav Sebestik’s documentary LISTEN explores the nature of sound and hearing. Utilizing interviews with composers, musicologists, and theorists--including Luciano Berio, Knud Victor, and Cage himself--as well as sounds of rabbits sleeping, tugboats, industrial machines, and other unconventional forms of music, Sebestik raises vital questions about the act, art and aesthetics of listening.
