Brett Sroka has made the act of contemplation his practice. By inviting audiences to participate in deep listening practices in the forest, Brett Sroka has expanded the community of those deeply engaged with the place. He has gathered field recordings on site and set them together with the responses of those listening. His immersive film installation Endless Song extends that space and community, bringing it out from the forest into the wider community.
