Right now, at this very moment, about 75 people are standing in the middle of the big open room on the top floor of the Woodruff Building downtown, each singing a different song of his or her own choosing very, very, very slowly. It's an impressive effect--a huge, layered tone that sounds more like an organ or synthesizer than a chorus.
It's part of composer/theorist Pauline Oliveros' Deep Listening workshop.
If you need yet another illustration of the eclectic nature of Big Ears, I'm leaving that to go follow Neil Hamburger's architectural tour of downtown Knoxville.
