"The title refers to that certain timbral or spatial or acoustic property that makes you notice a sound. I record all the sounds I use, both in my studio and in the field and all in M/S Stereo. I listen for that bit of new information in the sound, that uniqueness, that thing that made me turn my head and push record. That’s the sound I use. Sound is an energy field that I’ve been immersed in and worked in my whole life. There are always surprises and ways to treat the ear to new experiences and I try to find them in the real sounds of my world."

Trippie, unique, and catches one's attention for sure. I especially like those snips of multi-language that color up these little gems. And mastered by Master Dimuzio too! And, besides all that Emmy and TV stuff, let's not forget that Mister Wiggins has got some deep roots in the old home recording cassette community too. I'm betting that several copies of his ancient tapes can be found in the libraries of many of our EC brothers and sisters; certainly he's collaborated with a bunch of the EC people over the years.

John recently sent this CD to me and I like it very much! I've been trading recordings with John since about 1984. I'm happy to add The Listened To Sound to my Wiggins collection.

Wonderful work as usual, so good to see something by John on here. We lost touch quite some time ago, but I have listened to Me Wiggins music for quite some time. John even has a track on a HRM compilation.
