在气候危机的背景下，当代声音艺术家的可持续实践是什么？很明显，音乐家、制作人、作曲家和声音设计师不能再盲目地追求美的创造——情感的旋律、激动人心的节奏、丰富的音色——只是为了吸引听众悠闲地、可惜暂时地逃到沙拉芬兰。艺术不仅仅是娱乐。本文认为，声音艺术家有责任将他们的技能、时间和努力奉献给减缓气候变化的更大利益。

In the context of the climate crisis, what makes for a sustainable practice for contemporary sound artists? It is clear that musicians, producers, composers, and sound designers can no longer blindly pursue the creation of beauty - emotional melodies, exciting rhythms, lush timbres - simply to lure listeners on a leisurely, alas temporary, escape into Scharaffenland. Art is more than entertainment. This paper argues that it is incumbent upon sound artists to dedicate their skill, time, and efforts towards the greater good of climate change mitigation. While many sound artists, including me, are closely connected to academic institutions that provide material resources and ample time for reflection, we must recognise that positions of privilege come with great responsibility. In fact, we cannot be content with raising awareness but must strive to stimulate action. In this talk, I will review initiatives towards sustainable practices amongst pop musicians, working in industry, and sound artists, working in niche or academic contexts. From there, I discuss four matters of concern for sound artists working in academia. Firstly, a rethinking of the aesthetics, purposes, sonic materials, and methods that composers and sound artists use, if their output is to generate meaning-filled experiences that reach beyond the serotonin rush of instant gratification and instead influence listeners to reflect and react to the crisis. Secondly, finding ways to calculate CO2 footprint for the production, presentation, and distribution of sonic artwork, while carefully weighing reasonable costs against potential (if not measurable) impact on audiences, in terms of positive behavioural change. Thirdly, stimulating students and other stakeholders by reviewing curricula and teaching practices in educational institutions. Fourthly, strengthening the network of initiatives geared towards sustainable practices among professionals in the field of sound art.
