Mind Your Ears

You may be familiar with Nielsen, the data firm responsible for estimating radio and television viewership. 

Last month, Nielsen mailed me two crisp dollar bills as a request to partake in their survey—I took the bait and never looked back. Per their demands, I began logging everything I listened to for one week. And I videotaped it.

„Mind Your Ears“ is a slice-of-life documentary which charts the vibrations of my ear-drums through various albums, podcasts, YouTubes and news.

At its most fun, this is simply a mixtape of the musical moods which visited a random week of my life.

But this film is also Issue #007 of the creative magazine „This Present Moment“—a Substack feed which aims to explore and expand human consciousness through various pieces of writing, music and film. As such, „Mind Your Ears“ intends to quietly probe into deeper ideas regarding the nature of what we listen to and how that quietly creates what Robert Anton Wilson called our „reality tunnels.“

Consider this film an aural opening into my personal reality tunnel.
