Hardware I have:

MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports)
- 1.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
- 8 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3
- Macintosh HD\nIntel Iris Plus Graphics 645 1536 MB
- C02ZK02BL40Y
Iphone 13
CanaKit Raspberry Pi 5 Starter Kit - Turbine Black

Some goals:

Build something based off Pauline Oliveros' Deep Listening concept
- How can deep listening support a communal techno infrastructure
- Listening Infrastructure?
- Ear to brain?
- If time is listening then space is understanding !!!
Use server Raspberry Pi
Make something that helps people / a project I am already connected to
- for your upcoming class
- make something that helps people listen to their lives

Project ideas:

Something that can be useful for my clients taking my online group intensive around my book, Care Manual
- A music tool to cultivate deeper listening
- I am always looking for ways to expand my consciousness and find myself returning to music again and again.
- Connecting this idea that Pauline Oliveros has about expanding consciousness across space and time remind me of my idea, if time is listening then space is understanding.
  - Listening to our listening
  - Including silence in our understanding of listening
- So, what kind of sonic server tool can I use that will enhance individual understanding as an embodied practice?
  - I have a website that I just built that I could build some kind of listening tool on?
  - I've created Youtube Playlists that contain video content for each lesson I will facilitate for my clients and could do a listening tool involving these videos?
  - Maybe some sort of sound library where clients/users can upload different sound files that have helped them develop their listening
  - Becoming like this sonic collage of deep listening
  - Create 9 deep listening presets that people can contribute to an ongoing body of deep listening sound making?
    - that will become a meditation sound piece once it reaches 60 minutes of sound?
    - host this part of the website on the raspberry pi?
    - facilitate creativity in life and art through meditation
  - Something between a sound input tool and an experiential learning activity built in?
  - Pros
    - ongoing and expands throughout space and time
  - Cons
    - Not sure how engaging / supportive it would be
  - Law of 3 Dispenser—helping folks get closer to their goals
  - Creating a tool on my website that could help someone figure out the third neutralizing force to their creation
    - Something I will be teaching my clients in the online group intensive is that anything you want to make always has 3 forces: active, passive and neutralizing forces that take the shape of a triangle
    - Neutralizing forces have something to do with spacetime/setting the transformation will occur in
      - so for example, you have the active force sperm and the passive force egg that transforms in the neutralizing setting womb
  - Pros
    - easy for other to use
    - support tech in making processes
  - Cons
    - works similar to AI?
    - requires background education on the law of 3

Project questions
- Which of these are server forward?
- What would be my step-by-step process for making each?
- If neither of these will pan out, is there something similar I could do?
- What do I need to learn about my website/cargo collective to make this happen?
- What are the gaps in my concept?
\ Name ideas:
- Listen Like Animals (sounds carry intelligence — Pauline Oliveros)
  - to listen like an animal is to receive
  - now we begin to think about a technology that consider the more-than-human world
- Make like God
  - thinking about a technology that considers the Universe as community\n
