ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
What kind of listening and acknowledging do we offer each other? What is it to listen to an ‘elsewhere’, and do we ever do anything else when we listen to music?

Each of these films addresses place, landscape or location and the personal reaction to their magical or concrete properties.
