Music-Making Materials OUT NOW!

[Sebastian Hachmeyer]

Dear Ecomusicology friends and colleagues,

I am delighted to share the publication of a new book titled Music-Making Materials: Natural Resource Use and Sustainability in Musical Instrument Making, which I co-edited with my colleague, the violin maker and resource manager Silke Lichtenberg.

The edited volume brings together case studies from diverse instrument-making contexts, contributed by scholars from various disciplinary backgrounds. The case studies explore questions related to the use of natural materials in musical instrument making, the associated sustainability challenges, and possible approaches to address these challenges at local, regional, and global scales.

The book is open access and can be downloaded either from the UniHil Press homepage or from my research blog.
