Through a discussion of different modes of listening, with a focus on techniques of ecological communication, Clean Language was an opportunity for participants to learn how to properly listen to ‘acousmatic music’—recordings of naturally occurring sound that are usually considered non-musical. Participants learned how to develop and sharpen their perception with their emotions. In keeping with the theme proposed by Mathias and Julia of listening in general, listening to the other, and listening to oneself, participants created metaphors rooted in their emotional perception. From here Mathias and Julia used these metaphors to apply ‘clean language’ between participants, drawing upon each individual’s inner resources, insights, and understandings of the personal, poetic, or philosophical.
