About the Journal

- Scientific research in musicology and anthropology
- Musical writing, improvisation, and composition in the contemporary world
- Local musical traditions, even the most 'peripheral' ones
- Relationships between music and other artistic and expressive activities
- Instruments and technologies for music
- Expressions of the voice in individual and polyphonic vocalizations
- Thought processes, theories, and aesthetics that guide the 'reasons for music'
- Multifaceted behaviors observed in 'music making'
- Spaces and places of music
- Multi-media projections of music"
Current Issue
Vol. 4 (2025): acusfere. suoni_culture_musicologie
This fourth issue of acusfere_suoni_culture_musicologie reaffirms and reinvigorates the transcultural and generalist nature of musicology—understood not as a discipline bounded by a static object—“music”—but rather as a lens through which to examine the cultural and cognitive complexity of the musical phenomenon. In this sense, the journal continues to serve as a space where historical, theoretical, anthropological, educational, analytical, and technological approaches converge, within an epistemological framework that views music as a symbolic form but also as an embodied, relational, and systemic medium.
