What is a soundscape? What meaning can it have in music? If we refer to Raymond Murray Schafer’s theory, we should identify the soundscape as an acoustic field, a place where the relationships of a natural environment, with places, animals and men, are studied. An absolutely not remote application of Schafer’s theory is to reach the explosion of sound detail: for example, we could have the possibility of collecting the peculiarities of a sound environment consisting of any acoustically rich place, better if completely dedicated
to cultural contemplation, with musicians who are not uncompromising in respecting forms and times: in short, the equivalent of an abstract painting with multiple details to decipher.
