It is through these receptors that most people learn truths and post-truths, receive news and 'fake news', are informed of scientific data, hear opinions from across the spectrum, and find inspiration for action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Through close analysis of music and sound in a range of works, \u003ci\u003eSoundtracks of Climate Change\u003c\/i\u003e covers a variety of media, ethnicities, genders, languages, genres, mainstream and experimental approaches, fiction and documentary, scientific and aesthetic discourses. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The authors discuss music and sound in film, TV, and games from a global perspective, covering East Asia, Africa, the Nordic region, and Atlantic anglophone cultures. As we confront the climate crisis, this collection of articles by leading thinkers across film, music, and sound studies asks how audiovisual works convey the gravity and complexity of the problem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com Open access was funded by Knowledge Unlatched.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlexis Bennet \u003c\/b\u003eis Lecturer in Music at Goldsmiths University of London, UK.
