Vol. 15 No. 1 (2016): Sounds Emergent: Diverse Ecologies

Sounds Emergent: Diverse Ecologies is a small measure within a continuing historical record, a core sample taken from the global art and science dialog when we collectively arrived at another eco-critical turn and shift towards urgent action. The messages in this edition of Soundscape: The Journal of Acoustic Ecology forecast the need for our species to shift our perceptive modalities, to be intersubjective. It is the Holocene and our epoch of time is about the whole of everything. An ecology of everything might bend the sound barrier in a way that suggests our work might not depart or arrive from any singular point of audition. This implies that art and science collaborations are fuzzy places where both ideas and disciplines burrow and uplift, zones where science, arts and polity toil, a brackish place of continual change.
