Listening Center is an electronic sound projection imagined and realized by David K. Mason. Mason was born and grew up in Dublin, Ireland, was educated at Cologne Music Conservatory and The New School in New York, had a varied career as a jazz drummer and audio engineer, and came to form Listening Center around 2011 after hearing records by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Broadcast and the Ghost Box label. His interests in electronic music go back further — Mason became interested in early electronic and tape music after graduating college, and began to make electronic music on tape around 2001. Listening Center was fortunate to release tracks with Ghost Box in 2013, including “Titoli” on the 7” Study Series alongside Pye Corner Audio’s remix of “Town of Tomorrow” from Listening Center’s debut album Example One (initially released by the Danish label This Is Care of and then later on vinyl by the legendary Polytechnic Youth), and a further two tracks on Ghost Box’s Other Voices series. A string of LPs followed with Dom Martin’s Polytechnic Youth label, including Cycles and Other Phenomena, Aural Assignments, Retrieving, and Cybernetic Window, in addition to several albums released on Mason’s own cassette and CD imprint, Temporary Tapes. The project continues to unfold in its own world, and the winding pathways Listening Center follows are often surprising to both listener and composer alike.
