Tuning into Nature: The Interplay of Music and the Natural World 🎶

When I lace up my hiking boots and venture into the wilderness, there's one companion I always make sure to bring along: music. To me, music and nature are inseparable companions on my journeys, each complementing the other in a beautiful dance of harmony. But where exactly does one find music in nature, and where does nature find its way into music?

Let's start with the first question: where is music in nature? Well, for me, music is everywhere in nature if you listen closely enough. It's in the gentle rustle of leaves in the wind, the rhythmic patter of raindrops on leaves, and the melodic chirping of birds at dawn. And for Gray et al. (2001), it's in the sounds of whales in the ocean and the countersinging of bird species such as the Socorro mockingbird. Nature has its own symphony, a harmonious blend of sounds that ebb and flow with the changing seasons. And now, let's experience a snippet of this symphony firsthand with a video I captured last April:

Immerse yourself in the serene melodies of nature at Starkey Hill Conservation Area in Puslinch, ON. 🌿🎶 Let this video transport you to a place where the beauty of the natural world takes center stage.

Conversely, where is nature in music? Nature's influence on music is undeniable. Many composers throughout history have drawn inspiration from the world around them, infusing their compositions with the sights and sounds of nature (Cooney, 2020). From Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" to Smetana's "The Moldau," nature's influence is woven into the fabric of classical music (Cooney, 2020). But it's not just classical composers who are inspired by nature; artists across all genres have been known to incorporate natural imagery and sounds into their music. Consider, for instance, Zach Bryan's "Smaller Acts," where croaking frogs and distant crickets blend seamlessly with the acoustic strumming of a guitar:

But nature's influence on music goes beyond mere inspiration—it has been used to actually create music itself. For thousands of years, humans have utilized natural elements to craft instruments and compositions. One fascinating example is the discovery of prehistoric flutes made of animal bone in France and Slovenia, some dating back as far as 53,000 years ago (Gray et al., 2001). These ancient instruments provide tangible evidence of our ancestors' deep connection to the natural world and their desire to capture its essence through music.

Now, let's talk about those songs that transport us back to a natural landscape in an instant. For me, one such song is "Vagabond" by Caamp. The folksy acoustic guitar paired with the raw, emotive vocals instantly evoke memories of long hikes through the rugged terrain of Northern Ontario. There's something about the lyrics and the melody that perfectly captures the sense of adventure and freedom that comes with exploring the great outdoors.

Direct video link: https://youtu.be/XK3l7QtYeMA?si=WljC1ht2mmHRa9wt :)

Similarly, several songs by Mt Joy have the same effect on me. Whether it's the hauntingly beautiful "Silver Lining" or the anthemic "Sheep," their music has a way of whisking me away to the tranquil beauty of nature. It's as if each note is a brushstroke painting a vivid picture of rolling hills, towering pines, and crystal-clear lakes.

As for the context, well, I often find myself playing these songs on those long hikes in Northern Ontario that I mentioned earlier. There's something truly magical about being surrounded by nothing but wilderness, with only the sound of your footsteps and the occasional rustle of leaves to keep you company. And when you add the perfect soundtrack to the mix, it's like stepping into a scene from a movie – everything just falls into place, and you feel completely at peace with the world.

Overall, the relationship between music and nature is a deeply profound and endlessly fascinating one. Whether it's finding music in the sounds of nature or discovering nature within music, there's something inherently beautiful about the way these two elements intertwine. This interconnectedness resonates deeply with our ongoing dialogue on Indigenous value systems, which reject the notion of a strict division between culture and nature (Hooykaas, 2024). So the next time you find yourself out in the wilderness, take a moment to listen – you just might hear the sweet melodies of nature's symphony all around you🌷. Until next time!
