This article outlines the conceptual constructs that compel the author to create sonic projects for and with people of varying abilities. The author is a hybrid artist-researcher, and the article is voiced in a way that brings creative thought and academic language together. The article is divided into two parts. Part 1 discusses the author’s constructs of the ‘sonopoetic’ and ‘meta-listening’. Part 2 shows how these constructs have led to the author’s contemplation of the sono ecosystem through a large-scale sonic work titled The NIS (2009/2013) featuring the Amplified Elephants and the BOLT Ensemble.
