Sounds of forest

Zvočna podoba gozda je zanimiva na več področjih. V diplomski nalogi so s pomočjo študija literature našteti in opisani najznačilnejši zvoki gozda (z.g.:oglašanje živali, zvoki vetra, rastlin in vode itd.) ter osvetljena področja, za katera so ti zvoki zanimivi: lovstvo, bioakustiko ter področje človekovega zdravja. Predstavljeno je, kako so z.g. vključeni v glasbeno-umetniška dela predvsem v skladbah slovenskih avtorjev in to z namenom razširiti pomen estetske funkcije gozda. Predstavljene so štiri skladbe (Drevesa B. Jež Brezavšček, Gozdni odmevi J. Ježa, Tango ptic Č. Sojar Voglarja, Turist A. Kumarja), ki so vključene tudi v internetno anketo o doživljanju z.g. V analizo je zajetih 428 odgovorov. Pokazala je, da so skladatelji bolj ali manj dosegli, da so si poslušalci ob poslušanju predstavljali gozd ter da se večini anketiranih gozd zdi zvočno zanimiv. Najpogostejše zvočne asociacije ob besedi gozd so šumenje in šelestenje, ptičje petje ter oglašanje drugih živali. Več kot polovica anketiranih se v gozdu ne srečuje z zvočnim onesnaženjem, druge najbolj moti hrup gozdne mehanizacije in prevoznih sredstev. Učinke z.g. na počutje je večina anketiranih opisala kot pozitivne.The forest soundscape is interesting from many perspectives. In this thesis published literature on the topic was studied to identify and describe significant forest sounds (f.s.: animal uttering, sounds of wind, plants and water etc.) and to expose fields, where f.s. are interesting: hunting, bioacoustics and the field of human health. In thesis is presented how f.s. are present in musical art, esp. in music of Slovene authors with the goal toexpand the meaning of the aesthetic function of the forest. Four works are presented (B. Jež Brezavšček: Trees, J. Jež: Sylvan echoes, Č. Sojar Voglar: Bird tango, and A. Kumar: Tourist) and included in an internet questionnaire about experiencing forest sounds. 428 answers were analyzed and it shows that composers more or less achieved their goal of leading listeners to imagine forest while listening. Most respondents find f.s. interesting. The most frequent sounds associated with the word \u27forest\u27 are rustling, bird song and uttering of other animals. More than half of the respondents do not come across sound pollution in forests, the others are annoyed by the noise of forest mechanization and transport means. Most respondents described their reactions to f.s. as positive

The meaning of forest soundscape for its aesthetic function

Zvočna podoba gozda je zanimiva oblika estetske funkcije gozda. V raziskavi smo predstavili, kako je zvočna podoba gozda vključena v glasbeno-umetniška dela predvsem v skladbah slovenskih avtorjev, in to z namenom razširiti pomen estetske funkcije gozda. Predstavljene so štiri skladbe (Drevesa, B. Jež Brezavšček, Gozdni odmevi, J. Jež, Tango ptic, Č. Sojar Voglar, Turist, A. Kumar). Odlomki teh skladb so bili vključeni v internetno anketo o doživljanjuzvokov gozda. V analizo je zajetih 428 odgovorov, pokazala pa je, da so skladatelji bolj ali manj dosegli, da so si poslušalci ob poslušanju predstavljali gozd ter da je za večino anketiranih gozd zvočno zanimiv. Ob besedi gozd so najpogostejše zvočne asociacije šumenje in šelestenje, ptičje petje ter oglašanje drugih živali. Več kot polovica anketiranih se v gozdu ne srečuje z zvočnim onesnaženjem, druge najbolj moti hrup gozdne mehanizacije in prevoznih sredstev. Večina anketiranih je opisala učinke zvokov gozda na počutje kot pozitivne.The forest soundscape is an interesting type of aesthetic forest function.
