Auditory Landscapes

From the soundscapes emphasizing environmental awareness to the auditory landscapes in the context of storytelling – from ambient music and musique spectrale to installation and land art: the usage, design, or simply the pointing to audible phenomena in an infinite variety of setups unifies artists and scientists from very different knowledge cultures. Thereby, boundaries between sound and music, between artistic, didactic, and entertaining goals are blurred. That can open the door to the Tower of Babel but also provide the chance for surprising new connections in an artistic sense – and extend our perception of the world.
