Sound & Seat

For the listener in every seat

Sound & Seat is an independent editorial journal about music, listening and the concert experience. We explain a few useful ideas at a time, with room for readers who are curious but do not already speak the language of music theory.

Music as a broad starting point

We use this domain for general music education and appreciation. We are not the official website of a festival, orchestra, conference or former domain operator, and we do not publish an official programme or sell tickets.

Our launch articles offer original listening exercises and point to relevant primary educational resources. They do not claim that we attended a concert or tested a product. Practical details for a particular event should always come from its venue or organiser.
