Book excerpt: Ecotronica is a creative visual, conceptual and sonic investigation of phenomena which explores the nexus of music, technology and ecology. It is driven by mounting socio-ecological concerns and seeks to develop new creative practices and re-conceptualisations that are responsive to the Anthropocene epoch. In particularMore specifically, the projectit is attuned to current advances in audio technologiesy that can extend human perception of the environment, and innovative concepts that reconcile divisions between the human and the nonhuman. To these ends the research contributes to knowledge by bringing a theoretical framework grounded in new materialist conceptualisations into dialogue with sound studies and practice-based music research. It gives expression to an assemblage of novel human and nonhuman sonic processes and intra-actions by means of bio-data sonification, field recording, cymatics, electronic music composition and tactile audio technologies. The thesis draws from areas of study related with sound, music composition and ,contributes to the key fields of creative data sonification, sonic art and electronic music, both materially and conceptually, through a creative apparatus presented as a four-minute original music composition with accompanying film and multi-media installation with accompanying written exegesis.
