Description
Sounds, Ecologies, Musics explores music and sound from ecological standpoints, challenging scholars, scientists, environmental activists, musicians, and listeners to consider the natural and built environment's role in shaping our musical experiences.
The book examines how music and sound are intertwined with the environment, and how these relationships impact both nature and culture. It also delves into traditional and Indigenous ecological knowledges that may complement or conflict with Western science.
By embracing a diverse range of perspectives and approaches, Sounds, Ecologies, Musics broadens our understanding of ecomusicology and its potential to address pressing human and planetary crises.
