On Ecocomposition

An interview with Damián Keller

Abstract

Composer and professor Damián Keller has been researching ecologically grounded sounds, which come out of a study of ecology and the everyday environment, since the late 1980s. His work has dealt with a range of issues, including naive creativity, ubiquitous music making, and ecologically-based granular synthesis. He is interviewed here on topics of ecocomposition, everyday sound, and environmental activism.
