Abstract / Summary: Ecomusicology is the study of music, sound, culture, nature and the environment in a time of environmental crisis, including the research of how various native and indigenous peoples think of the sonic universe and its relation to living in harmony with the environment. In songs of protest and through experimental compositions, we make audible both the strength and vulnerability of our environment, while sonic connections enable our common kinship with it. All over the globe, and throughout history, people have recognized deep connections between music, sound, and nature. This module links earth song to human-made sounds and music for social change and a more sustainable future.
