Abstract.
This paper introduces a new approach to music composition
we call eco-structuralism. The techniques of ecostructuralism
include analysis and transformation of sonic
structures in environmental sounds. This paper elaborates
on the motivations, process and techniques of ecostructuralism
as a formalized method of music making that
implements the principles of eco-composition.
Of all the sounds despatched abroad,
There s not a charge to me
Like that old measure in the boughs,
That phraseless melody
(Dickinson 1890).
