ABSTRACT
This research seeks to conceptualise the close link between people and nature. It will be centred
around intangible heritage, living archives, memories and ritualised spaces through the lens of
ecomusicology. In the research, we use music, soundscapes and Traditional Cultural
Expressions or storytelling, ritual, dance and heritage products (otherwise known as TCEs) to
extrapolate data and question traditional disciplinary barriers. Additionally, this research
concerns the use of the arts and heritage in developing new approaches to communicable
science education and archival practice - placing performance and ritual as knowledge and the
spaces these are created as part of the (an)archive.
