DESCRIPTION:Doctoral Colloquium: Nick Miskey (Music Theory) \n\nTitle: Hear
 ing Places: Music\, Field Recordings\, and Ecologies of Listening in Clima
 te Crisis\n\nSince the turn of the millennium\, musicians\, composers\, an
 d sound artists have increasingly turned to field recordings—usually figur
 ed as sounds recorded outside of a space for controlled sound production\,
  and generally relating to specific sites or locales—to deliver ecological
  critiques. Yet\, music researchers still lack models for assessing both t
 he musical value and the urgent environmental messaging of these artistic 
 gestures\, and music theory as a discipline continues to neglect the role 
 of field recordings in bonding cultures to their social and physical envir
 onments. In this presentation\, I examine and critique pieces by Hildegard
  Westerkamp and Kate Carr\, two prominent sound artist-composers working w
 ith field recordings. I employ descriptive and spectrographic analyses to 
 explore how the listening practices they espouse and engender both facilit
 ate and complicate hearing and valuing ecosystems\, in the process opening
  inquiries into political and material ecologies of human and nonhuman sou
 nd.\n\nNick Miskey is a PhD candidate in Music Theory at the Schulich Scho
 ol of Music. His research combines the analysis of contemporary sound art 
 and experimental music with sound studies\, media studies\, and environmen
 tal humanities.\n\n\nThe Doctoral Colloquium is open to all.\n
