This chapter presents a series of vignettes concerning contemporary uilleann piping, the social nature of tune transmission, the persistence of personal style, and tradition as conversation. It starts from the premise that Irish traditional music offers the possibility of enacting the value of neighbourliness through musical and social grooves, and considers how this plays out in a world of electronic devices, externalized memory, virtual communities, and commodified sound. How do players of Irish traditional music create sustainable local community in the digital age? How does conversation survive being stuffed down a wire?

Aldo Leopold's notion of the land ethic remains one of the clearest articulations of culture as the driver of ecological sustainability. Noting that ecological field sciences have long relied on communication with members of host communities, this chapter argues that what is needed is reflexive participation in the forms of communication that constitute and renew places. Using examples of speech genres drawn from story-dominated conversations among participants in a community-based science monitoring project, this chapter shows that conversational genres are interactional routines that function in multiple ways. Lending ourselves to such interactional routines, we consent to our initiation into worlds in common for which we may now co-exist, often well beyond the duration of conversations that are anything but beside the point.

Based primarily on ethnographic work in Cape Breton and in New Orleans, this chapter is about how local music connects to cultural integrity–a concept that can be useful in thinking about how expressive culture relates to local concepts of good and satisfying lives in particular places. People in Cape Breton and New Orleans care about their music and tend to see it both as integral to a good life and emblematic of a kind of wholeness in the local culture. Yet in both places, economic displacement and development driven by gentrification threatens the sustainability of this cultural integrity.

Environmentalists rarely talk about popular culture, associating it more with the excesses of “throwaway living” than with sustainability's custodial sensibilities. There is some truth to this skepticism. However, that doesn't mean that the popular can never be associated with sustainable living. This chapter explores the complexities of fan culture, which resituates capitalist consumption to sustain other kinds of meaningful connection and attachment. Through collecting and tourism, fans extend musical encounter; with concert-going and narrative, fans create communal sensibility. Combined with participatory media practices that provide alternatives to the established music business, fandom reframes popular culture's potential in sustainability debates.

This chapter considers ethnomusicology's relationship to media as a fundamental tool for cultural representation. It draws a circuitous line from Robert Flaherty's encounter with the Inuit people through Titon's work on American cultural communities to indigenous media makers' mediated performances, exploring how ethnomusicologists and ethnographic filmmakers embrace media's power to document, analyze, distribute, and sustain musical experience across culture and through time. These mediators work between the worlds of academic scholarship and the public sphere, and navigate the duality of face-to-face experience in real time against the capturing of musical culture in enduring and accessible ethnographic media in an increasingly mediated world.

This critique of sustainability is intended to improve cultural sustainability advocacy in ecomusicology, sound studies, and music. The idea of sustainability is expanded in four ways: first, by acknowledging the challenge of sustainability, getting past basic meanings of “endure,” and using sustainability more robustly in its meanings of “change”; second, by arguing for the foundational role of nature / environmental studies; third, by understanding sustainability as a lens rather than a goal, noun, or verb; and fourth, by arguing for aesthetics as an important addition to three-part sustainability theories. Through the lens of a change-oriented, environment-based sustainability, music and sound studies scholars can demonstrate how listeners and musicians value sounds and therefore cultural actions that exist in ethically charged contexts.

This chapter reviews the historic and ongoing research of the state of Maine's intangible cultural heritage and shows how this work addresses the need for conservation, advocacy, education, and stewardship of this heritage. Maine is especially rich in intangible cultural heritage including the knowledge involved in crafting fine Native American basketry, boat building, fiddle music and dance, knowledge of the natural world among fishermen, woodsmen, millworkers, and farmers, folk singing, storytelling and much more. Cultural rights and ownership, the role of community scholars, and the impact of tourism is considered. The chapter concludes by suggesting that culturally-sensitive and engaged research has strengthened our understanding of how the ecosystem is essential to human life and culture.
