The Origin of Experience is a 50-minute podcast by Paul Oomen




Narrated with a sense of sound’s past, present and future, Oomen takes us on a granular journey into listening and its effects on the evolution of the human body. From our first days in the womb sensing proximity through vibrations, through to our embedding within the environment by means of sound, towards a listening that transcends the limitations of the physical.
