This edition of IMS Musicological Brainfood explores musicology’s relationship with the environment in two journeys. The first is led by Daniel M. Grimley as he takes us across the landscape of COVID-19. His short provocation, “Moving upon Silence,” should awaken our silence as musicologists. We have been advocating a global musicology, but to truly listen to the world around us, a global musicology should be as “earthy” as it is socially attuned to different cultures—the two, in fact, are inseparable, as Grimley reminds us. This is clearly demonstrated in the second journey. As with the first recipients of the IMS Guido Adler Prize, we asked the 2019 recipient, Margaret Kartomi, to write about her life and travels, and her perceptions of change in our discipline over the past sixty years. Her unique perspective, shaped by her upbringing in Australia, her studies in East Berlin, and her research in Indonesia, provides us with a view of musicology with open borders, and one that is never far from the political, social, and environmental issues. Her long career as a musicologist inspires us to be explorers.
