Abstract

This article explores current issues in the relationship between music, soundscape, and language, precisely when transnational musical strategies such as variations, transformations, and adaptations are used. This text discusses some interdisciplinary perspectives from a historical approach that scholars have put forward in contemporary musicology. This discussion aims to reflect on how these ideas echo the trend of Chilean music and provide practical methods for subjects other than traditional musicology. To do so, Mario Concha’s album Todo Paisaje es Interno offers excellent elements, contributing to world nature and environmental awareness through music from Chile.
