This study investigates the interdisciplinary scope of ecomusicology a field that explores the intricate interconnections between music, nature, and humanity through ecological, aesthetic, ethical, and psychological perspectives.Anchored in the theoretical foundations of acoustic ecology, bioacoustics, and environmental psychoacoustics, the research centers on ambient and New Age genres as significant sonic spaces where ecological sensitivity and musical aesthetics intersect.Ecomusicology has emerged as a vital response to global environmental crises, offering a framework to reimagine the relationship between ecology and the arts.Within this context, natural soundscapes such as birdsong, flowing water, and wind-are analyzed not merely as decorative background elements, but as meaningful agents that foster environmental empathy, support attentional restoration, and evoke ecological awareness.By tracing the field's evolution from R. Murray Schafer's soundscape theory to contemporary developments in environmental musicology, the study offers a multi-dimensional account of how sound mediates humanenvironment relationships.Drawing on a qualitative review of both foundational and recent scholarly literature, it constructs a comprehensive theoretical and aesthetic analysis of ecomusicology's conceptual landscape.Furthermore, the growing presence of ambient and nature-themed music on platforms like Spotify and YouTube signals a cultural shift in auditory engagement, wherein listeners increasingly relate to nature through immersive sonic experiences
