<![CDATA[This research aims to examine the use of urban soundscapes as the main material in contemporary electronic music composition practices. This study departs from the understanding that cities are not just physical spaces, but social spaces that produce complex and layered auditory experiences. The research was carried out through the process of recording environmental sounds in urban areas, which were then processed into electronic music compositions with an artistic-experimental approach. To see the aesthetic response of listeners, a perception survey of a number of urban participants was conducted using a visual assessment scale. The results show that the integration of urban environmental sounds in musical structures is able to build a more contextual and immersive listening experience, as well as strengthen listeners’ perception of the identity of urban spaces. These findings confirm that urban soundscapes have the potential not only as a documentation object, but also as a relevant aesthetic material in the development of contemporary music composition practices based on urban social contexts.]]>
