Summary/Abstract: This study aims to focus on the concepts of the scene and local sound which play a key role in musicology research; and to reveal the place of music, that takes shape by these two approaches, on cultural studies. While the concept of scene represents a musical activity which is progressing accordingly to the location and place, the local sound is an expression of new auditory designs which occur through a location as well. Both concepts are based on a cultural identity and a legacy which are formed by belonging to a geographical location. Furthermore, the relationship between the dialectics of modern-traditional and local-global is a determining factor on the scene and local sound. To heap together around a musical activity and to attach a spiritual importance to this music, of communities, which define/consider themselves to be outside of dominant culture, are among the factors which create the scene and local sound. As a result, examples and case studies, which are represented here, offer important details related to notions of the scene and local sound which are inseparable parts of recent years’ popular music works.
