重听一个“宏观的音乐作品”
——从谢弗《声景学：我们的声环境与世界的调音》说起
陈子瑶（Chen Ziyao）
摘要：当今，传统音乐定义的边界日益开放，使得任何能发声的人或物体都可能被视作音乐家。因此，谢弗在《声景学：我们的声环境与世界的调音》中，将世界的声景视为一部“宏观的音乐作品”，记录了自然、工业及声学设计等各类声景，并将音乐感知理念贯穿于各章节。时至今日，该书在世界声景研究领域仍具有前瞻性与引领性，跨学科雄心、敏锐批判与诗意文笔是其显著优势。不过，书中在声景问题域、能动性、噪声立法、媒介适应性及中译本翻译等方面，仍有若干可商榷之处。本文以前奏、主歌、间奏、副歌、尾声为结构框架，整合激活谢弗方案当代价值的若干路径，重读并重听谢弗笔下的声景世界。

Title: Rehear “a Macrocosmic Musical Composition”: Start from Schafer’s The Soundscape: Our Sonic Environment and the Tuning of the World
Abstract: Nowadays, the definitions of traditional music are increasingly diverse, to the extent that the musicians can be anyone and anything that sounds. Therefore, Raymond Murray Schafer treats the world as “a macrocosmic musical composition” in The Soundscape: Our Sonic Environment and the Tuning of the World, documenting various soundscapes from the natural soundscape to the industrial soundscape, then to acoustic design, with the musical perception throughout the book. To date, this book has been of forward-looking and leading value in the field of world soundscape research, and his interdisciplinary ambition, sharp criticism and poetic writing are of great advantage. However, the book reveals deficiencies in the problem domain and agency of soundscape, noise legislation, media adaptability, and Chinese translation. These overlooked “sounds” are to be reheard in the new era, and pathways for the contemporary reactivation of Schafer’s project are to be proposed in a new musical structure of intro, verse, interlude, chorus, and outro, in the hope of building a new world of soundscapes.
