In a context marked by the digital transition, this research raises awareness about a still intense relation between music, territory, and local identity. It does so by an in-depth analysis of the electronic music ecosystems (EMEs) of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (LMA). The localisation of these musical practices continues to play a crucial role. However, there is a lack of research that offers a characterisation of EMEs, their different actors and their relations, and how they are embedded in territories. The innovation of this project lies in the fact that it goes beyond fragmentary readings of the EMEs. It seeks a holistic approach, co-constructed with the different players who compose these ecosystems and it is an essential contribution to overcoming the knowledge gap about Portuguese EMEs, their workers, working conditions, networks, and their potential and challenges. Simultaneously, it allows us to broaden the focus of analysis beyond Lisbon, comparing the reality of the main urban centres with peripheral or even peri-urban contexts. Our main goal is to study the LMA's EMEs and produce knowledge useful to its actors and policymakers. The research does this by showing the EMEs’s territorial embeddedness and unveiling differences within the AML; raising awareness of their importance and value; and identifying with the stakeholders ways to make them more sustainable and resilient within the framework of designing public policies for popular music, that do not exist in Portugal. Partial goals include: 1) mapping and characterising the LMA’s EMEs; 2) identifying their main challenges and opportunities; 3) setting up a web platform to systematise and share data and resources on EMEs, promoting their connectivity and the careers and circulation of their players; 4) giving visibility to territories and a musical genre that are usually peripheral in the design of public policies. The project is based on a multi-method qualitative approach, combining documental analysis, semi-structured interviews, observation, participatory labs, production of audiovisual materials with geo-referenced information systems. The results target a pilot test of an interdisciplinary, original, and collaborative approach to analyse the LMA's EMEs through the construction of a comprehensive map, the podcast, events, and a web platform for discussion and to produce knowledge with significance for public policies and the functioning and sustainability of these ecosystems.
