An Elegy for the City: Composing the Urban Character

Budhaditya Chattopadhyay

Abstract

Does a city project a certain inner character within the subjective auditory perception of the listener's experience of its complex sound environment? This paper examines the artistic processes involved in the author's recent composition elegy for Bangalore, which sheds light on the methodologies of listening to and field recording in an emerging and transfiguring Indian city toward composing its urban character.
