TUNING AWAY FROM MECHANIZED LISTENING: Sound Ecologies: A New Landscape of Music Community
Tuning Away from Mechanized Listening features Midwest’s music ecosystems—listening cultures where thoughtful curation, collective engagement, and storytelling still shape what and how we hear. This series is meant to be a reminder: listening can be more than a passive, prescriptive experience.
Interviews with the members and leadership of Sound Ecologies, including Luke and Charissa Garrigus, Rob Funkhouser, Carly Sage, and Hunter Wheatcraft were conducted by the author in late June and early July of 2025, both in person and over the phone.
