Join UO Libraries weekly in the comfortable Douglass Room lounge for an immersive journey through landmark recordings from Knight Library's extensive audio collection. Each session focuses on a single classic album, providing historical context, artistic background, and guided listening that reveals the craftsmanship behind these influential works. From jazz masterpieces and classical recordings to groundbreaking rock albums and world music treasures, we'll explore how these recordings shaped musical history and continue to influence artists today. Each album will be introduced with insights into the recording process, cultural impact, and musical innovations before we settle in for focused, uninterrupted listening.
This workshop offers a rare opportunity to experience music as it was intended — as a complete artistic statement rather than isolated tracks. Participants will develop deeper appreciation for album construction, production techniques, and the art of active listening while discovering gems from our collection they might never have encountered otherwise. Whether you're a casual music fan looking to expand your horizons or a serious listener seeking new perspectives on familiar works, you'll leave each session with enhanced understanding of how great albums achieve their lasting power. The relaxed lounge setting encourages reflection and discussion, making this both an educational and meditative experience perfect for busy students, faculty, and community members seeking a weekly respite through transformative music.

Join UO Libraries weekly in the comfortable Douglass Room lounge for an immersive journey through landmark recordings from Knight Library's extensive audio collection. Each session focuses on a single classic album, providing historical context, artistic background, and guided listening that reveals the craftsmanship behind these influential works. From jazz masterpieces and classical recordings to groundbreaking rock albums and world music treasures, we'll explore how these recordings shaped musical history and continue to influence artists today. Each album will be introduced with insights into the recording process, cultural impact, and musical innovations before we settle in for focused, uninterrupted listening.
This workshop offers a rare opportunity to experience music as it was intended — as a complete artistic statement rather than isolated tracks. Participants will develop deeper appreciation for album construction, production techniques, and the art of active listening while discovering gems from our collection they might never have encountered otherwise. Whether you're a casual music fan looking to expand your horizons or a serious listener seeking new perspectives on familiar works, you'll leave each session with enhanced understanding of how great albums achieve their lasting power. The relaxed lounge setting encourages reflection and discussion, making this both an educational and meditative experience perfect for busy students, faculty, and community members seeking a weekly respite through transformative music.
