EAR EXPANSION
Ear Expansion Podcast is a multi-part series of recorded, long-form conversations between host LaMont Hamilton and artists of color working in all aspects of sound. These artists are invested in the idea of making art that extends the listening experience.
Hamilton says that traditionally, this type of art has been described as “sound art” or “experimental” work. Ear Expansion Podcast advocates for a new descriptive language: aural art. Aural art, he says, is a move away from less defined terms like ambient or experimental to specify art made for the act of listening and its somatic extension.
