2023 album from innovative drummer Mark Guiliana!

Featuring Shai Maestro, Jason Rigby and Chris Morrissey

After his acclaimed quartet albums Jersey and Family First, this third release is everything you'd expect from Mark Guiliana, while taking the music in new directions we've never seen from him before. In complete contrast to his latest Beat Music! work, the sound of listening (intentionally lower case) is a deeply honest and expressive album by a musician who knows where he's headed and what he wants to say with people he deeply trusts.

The title and idea behind the sound of listening is taken from the book Silence by Thích Nh?t H?nh, which considers, as Mark explains, "the inner silence required to truly observe the world." In the sound of listening the entirety of compositional breadth of Mark's acoustic and electronic influences is brought together, interspersed with miniature vignettes in a unified voice: the album speaks of Mark's own journey and thinking with his relationship to music — to see the world and his presence within it through a zoomed out lens, where differences are unified and perspectives aligned. Track titles including "a path to bliss," and "the most important question," reflect Mark's passionate response to his own exploration and path to serenity, which takes centre stage in this meticulously thoughtful, introspective album.

Throughout the course of his career, Mark has built a vast cult-like following for his own projects as well as with key collaborators including Avishai Cohen, Brad Mehldau, Gretchen Parlato, Meshell Ndegeocello, the late great David Bowie, and more recently St. Vincent. the sound of listening reaffirms his authority as an artist where the expectation is there's no expectation.
