🌿 The 22nd volume of "Musicology Today", titled "Music, Nature, and Sound: Musical Ecology", is now available online in open access: https://reference-global.com/issue/MUSO/22/1

Drawing on contributions from scholars and artists working across musicology, sound studies, composition, and cultural theory, the issue explores music as a medium that not only reflects ecological issues but also helps shape our understanding of them. Many of the articles stem from the International Online Conference on Renewable Music, held in October 2024 as part of the Creative Europe-funded project "Renewable Music. V4 Composers for Sustainability", led by the Polish Composers’ Union.
