The document explores the relationship between the visual landscape and the soundscape, demonstrating how images, sounds and music collectively contribute to the perception and representation of places. Through a journey spanning from nineteenth-century music to contemporary experimentation, the landscape is analysed not only as an external reality, but also as an inner space, capable of reflecting emotions, memories and identity.
This exploration traces how musical language has interpreted nature, the city and the transformations brought about by industrialisation, conflicts and technological development. From the Romantic landscape to concrete and electroacoustic music, noises, silences and ambient sounds become compositional materials, whilst space itself takes on a central role in the musical experience.
The concept of the soundscape is thus presented as a system of relationships between the environment, society and the individual. Sound installations and interventions in public spaces can alter the perception of places, encourage new ways of listening and make environmental and climatic phenomena perceptible. The soundscape thus emerges as an artistic, ecological and social tool through which to interpret the present and imagine new ways of relating to the environment.
