Por Uma Paisagem Sonora Multilateral

a importância da dissonância no soundscape

Abstract

For this article, we aim to contribute to the arguments over Murray Schafer’s defense about the acoustically most appropriate sounds inside urban life. Our objective is to reflect over the dissonance role in the built of diverse soundscape, related to urban diversities, adding a psychosocial perspective to the Schafer’s thought. As a result, we consider to actualize Schafer’s perspective about the acoustically most appropriate sounds, where the author seems to be attached to the rural aesthetic as a most healthy soundscape, as way to compensate the unilaterality of urban sound structure, both consonant and dissonant when related to the hegemonic sound discourse order. Finally, we present the proposal of a live soundscape project as an intervention practice in the cities life, through an academic experience realized in the São Judas Tadeu University, in São Paulo.
