  • Offers pioneering explorations of sound, music, and environment from ecological perspectives
  • Offers ecologically informed case studies of musical and sonic cultures as connected to natural environments

In Sounds, Ecologies, Musics, authors pose exciting challenges and provide fresh opportunities for scholars, scientists, environmental activists, and musicians to consider music and sound from ecological standpoints. The book covers topics such as how environment enables music and sound, how music and sound relate to Western environmental science, and mutidisciplinary collaborations among scholars.
