Richard McGuire - Listen
Listen is an audio book, a graphic score that captures everyday sounds across 32 pages: a dog barking, the radio, a car door slamming⊠a few seemingly insignificant sounds among those that punctuate our days.
During the first lockdown, Richard McGuire left the heart of New York City to move to Beacon, a small, peaceful town north of New York, surrounded by nature. âThere are 11 windows in my house, which allows me to pick up sounds coming from all directions. Thatâs where the sounds in Listen come from. Having lived in the city for so long makes you hypersensitive to all the sounds of the countryside; itâs as if they were amplified. Thatâs the starting point for this book, but thereâs also the idea of graphically encoding soundsâitâs a subject thatâs always interested me.â
