Transforming Landscapes

Eduardo Balanza y Susana López

Audiovisual installation at Puertas de Castilla Center (31/10/2018)

The soundscape and the tuning of the world, the idea of the universe as musical composition has a history that goes from Pythagoras to John Cage. At the end of the 20th century, R.Murray Schafer proposed an empirical approach to this idea, and since then the works around the soundscape (a term coined by the author in this book) have not stopped growing. Schäfer conceives the soundscape as an ecosystem composed of all the acoustic events in the world, the complete catalog of noises and sounds among whom we live. For the author, the soundscape of the world is a musical composition that unfolds without ceasing us around and that we should be not only its auditorium, but also its composers and performers. At the bottom of this matter, we will find music theory but also the acoustics, anthropology, sociology, art, architecture and the study of the symbolism of sounds.

Esto no es música para ascensores

278

During 2015 and 2016, I conceived and produced a series of biannual sound installations held in the elevator at Puertas de Castilla (Murcia) under the title Esto no es música para ascensores—a direct nod to Magritte’s famous This Is Not a Pipe.
