Vol. 3 No. 1 (2026): Sound ecologies: recording and listening practices between research, creation and attention to environments

© Irène Mopin 2026; retravaillé par Pierrick Lefranc 2026

Listening involves choosing thresholds of attention, defining what counts as a signal or as noise, and deciding what deserves care, description, measurement, memory, or composition. Sound ecologies thus emerge as a sensitive and critical testing ground where our ways of coexisting with other living beings, technologies, and shared environments are re-examined. By bringing together contributions from various fields, this issue explores why disciplines outside of musicology are now mobilizing its concepts, corpus, and practices, while in turn contributing to shifting its objects, methods, and analytical frameworks.
