Ecosound Notation
Exploring the Language of Music Scores amidst Ecological Crisis.
The Semiotic Extension of Acoustic Ecology — Exploring the language of musical notation under ecological crisis.
Title: Ecosound Notation: Exploring the Language of Music Scores amidst Ecological Crisis
This practice-based research investigates the role of musical notations as an art form and future language in response to the ongoing ecological crisis. Situated at the intersection of acoustic ecology, semiotics, musicology, and visual art, it develops the original concept of ‘Ecosound Notation’ to represent and analyse the soundscapes of wetlands affected by industrialisation. The project repositions musical notation within a non-anthropocentric framework, expanding its capacity to understand human and non-human interactions and foster sustainable coexistence. Drawing on firsthand experiences in the Yellow River Delta Wetlands and Walthamstow Wetlands, the research integrates field research, ethnographic approaches, archival exploration, participatory experiments, interdisciplinary creation, and site-specific performances to offer practical toolkits for intervention and new academic insights.
