Landscapes of Music: The more-than-human lives and politics of musical instruments

德国小提琴制造小镇米滕瓦尔德周围的风景受到弓弦乐器制造的强烈影响。几个世纪以来，这里种植了树木，其木材具有特别强大的共鸣品质。因此，罕见的文化景观与著名的小提琴建筑遗产并驾齐驱。然而，通过殖民和进口热带木材来制弓，小提琴制造也与受到威胁的巴西森林联系在一起。在环境音乐学和人类学领域，我的研究将调查这些音乐景观，以及围绕乐器制造的多物种关系和政治。

The landscapes surrounding the German violin-making town of Mittenwald have been strongly shaped by and for the making of bowed string instruments. Over centuries, trees have been cultivated here, whose wood has particularly potent resonating qualities. Resultingly, rare cultural landscapes have developed alongside a prominent violin building heritage. Through colonization and the import of tropical woods for bow-making, however, violin making has also become linked to threatened Brazilian forests. Situated within the fields of environmental musicology and anthropology, my research will investigate these musical landscapes, and the multispecies relations and politics that surround the making of instruments.
