I’ll listen to you 

SAVVYZAAR is excited to welcome the RAUMSTRATEGIEN class to the airwaves with a special two-part collective feature made for radio. I’ll listen to you is a celebration of listening to each other. A celebration for and with the group, of listening to one another and building trust, despite the sounds of war outside our windows. I’ll listen to you as the ultimate shared state of opening and of trance. I’ll listen to you as an exercise of memory: found, lost, or soon to be lost. I’ll listen to you as a state of mutual recognition and resistance. I’ll listen to you as a mirror, as an accent. I’ll listen to you as a tool of excavation, a tunnel, a wound – a desire to go further. I’ll listen to you as an expression of love, as if burning herbs: preparing, purifying, putting intention and setting the environment for what is to come. Each sound is an offering and a promise to try to celebrate now, and to continue together.
