Much has been written about the relationship between the sounding arts and the art of listening. Generally speaking, much of that attention has been paid to the specific listening positions demanded or inspired by particular artists and their works. There might also be close attention paid to the different levels of what we might call ‘auditory capital’ that individuals bring to bear in their engagement with a particular work of art. This chapter, by contrast, sets out to explore the idea that over the long twentieth century, the sounding arts have necessarily been encountered by listeners whose listening practices have always already been produced in not insignificant ways by - or at least in relation to - the changing media culture. In other words, the revolutionary introduction of audio and audiovisual media into domestic and everyday routines has gradually, but persistently and fundamentally, altered the baseline of auditory experience of the publics from which the sounding arts draw their audiences.
