What is ecomusicology, and what sorts of things do ecomusicologists investigate? Aaron S. Allen defines and traces the contours of this interdisciplinary field of study. Also, we revisit a conversation with Martin Daughtry about the auditory dimension of armed conflict and the violence perpetrated by mechanized sounds of wartime.
