Even in our sleep we hear. But we are rarely aware of the sounds around us. The podcast series Im Klang listens closely and talks to people who have something to say about hearing. What actually is a sound or noise? How do sounds affect us? Which voices sound trusting? What did the world sound like 100, 1000 or 10000 years ago? How could a city sound pleasant? What is audio art? Or : How loud is silence?

Are sounds an internal or external phenomena?

In the eleventh episode of Im Klang we meet an author, editor and Dharma teacher, who is exploring the relationship between auditory experience and mind. With David Schneider I am talking about hysterical religious expressions, the unique soundscape of a Zen monastery and Buddha's teaching of transcendental listening.

After our conversation, David Schneider will read one of his short stories. In Induction he reflects on his early attempts to bring listening and spiritual practice together in a very amusing way.
