Good morning.

This week, we sit down with the sound therapist Sara Auster, who tells us about her recently launched year-long series of sound baths at Lincoln Center created with members of the New York Philharmonic.

We also talk sound (through a translator) with the Japanese musician-turned-ceramicist Kansai Noguchi, who explains how he imbues his vessels with “sounds of music.”

Elsewhere, we ask the online design magazine Sight Unseen’s co-founder Jill Singer, co-author of the new book How to Live with Objects: A Guide to More Meaningful Interiors, about her media diet. And we test out the new book-sharing platform Tertulia, which offers a comprehensive window into literary conversations happening around the world.

On this week’s episode of Time Sensitive, Spencer speaks with the architect Brad Cloepfil, founder of the Portland, Oregon- and Brooklyn-based firm Allied Works, about the eternal quest for awe in architecture.
