Mort Drew is a sound artist working on flat listening and collective broadcasting through experimental ecological radio practices. For Listening Other·Wise, they will perform alongside the live audio feeds, mixing original compositions built from samples of previous live transmissions into the sounds from the field transmitters. Drew is interested in listening practices relating to empathy, developing connections to sites and environments that we may not pay particular attention to. Their listening practice has developed alongside their work building and working with live environmental sound transmission streamboxes with the artist cooperative, Soundcamp. Within the cooperative, they use the term flat listening to describe a considered anti-hierarchical approach to listening.
