note updated information)
In his provocative book, Ecology without Nature: Rethinking
Environmental Aesthetics, literary ecologist Timothy Morton suggests
that much ecocritical nature writing makes the same Romantic assumptions
it seeks to critique. He posits that a properly ecological view of the
environment must challenge aestheticised views of nature, and be
immersed rather than observational.
How can, and does, sound-based music =91rethink=92 environmental aesthetics=
?
How can sound-based music, and writing on it, contribute to the
ecocritical debate? What is sonic ecology in art? This themed issue aims
to move forward from the valuable foundations of early Acoustic Ecology
and soundscape composition, considering related and different approaches
sound-based music as ecological reflection of listening, sound and place.
Topics for investigation might include (as suggestions):
=B7 Soundscapes and sonic psychogeography.
=B7 Sonic activists, eco-activism in sound art and sound-based music.
=B7 Field recording projects that address issues of ecology, environmental=
stewardship and sustainability in the light of collective, or personal,
experience of sound in the world.
=B7 Sound-based music as the =91transliteration=92 of recorded experience a=
nd
memory of time and place.
=B7 Artistic projects arising from phonography communities and online
dissemination of both music and materials.
=B7 Online soundscape experiences and compositions (interactive
sound-based works, curated sound-based music, sound collections, field
recording projects, listening projects, virtual environments)
=B7 Consciousness-raising, through sound-based music, in relation to
listening and place.
=B7 Artist statements, personal and subjective, =91listening in the world=
=92.
=B7 Critiques and consideration of Acoustic Ecology.
As always, submissions related to the theme are encouraged; however,
those that fall outside the scope of this theme are always welcome.
