Essay: "From the soundscape meme to self-awareness"

New essay: QUADERN D'ÀUDIO #6. From the soundscape meme to self-awareness. By José Manuel Berenguer 

Taking the term soundscape as a starting point, this essay by José Manuel Berenguer addresses a number of concerns relevant to understanding the listening experience within art and everyday life.
