Re-scaling emotional approaches to music: Basque band Lisabö and the soundscapes of urban alienation

چکیده
Building on recent studies that have linked music, emotion and geography, this article looks at the musical production of the Basque post-punk band ‘Lisabö’ across its four albums: Ezlekuak (Bidehuts, 2007), Izkiriaturik aurkitu ditudan gurak (Metak, 2005), Ezarian (Esan Ozenki, 2000) and the EP Egan Bat Nonahi (Acuarela, 2002).

This approach has proved nearly optimal for simulating the auditory perception of natural and human environments (or soundscapes), and is also the most predominent paradigm to extract high-level descriptions from music signals.
