Abstract
This essay offers a theoretical approach to the “environmental turn”, a movement that is proposed as appropriate to understand the contemporary sound-musical phenomenon. Thus, it starts from a review of the concept of ambient to give rise to a reconsideration of the usual consumption of pop music under this term. In order to characterize this process, the term “music environmentalization” has been used, which is evident in recent music criticism. Thus, the exercise of reintroducing the ambient into the musical-cultural discourse deserves it’s just recalibration, adaptation and distinction in the media landscape. How can we remove from the background music that is predisposed to that space? In conclusion, and under this logic, musical climatology is proposed as a way of analysis for current pop music.
