The word UrbanForArt is created based on the combination of urbanization, art songs, and deforestation which is the central concept of the composition or creative work. There are 11 art song compositions that were presented. These songs were inspired by the soundscape of the nature in the urban area. The dissertation begins with the inspirational factors, the realization, the passion and the drive to start; along with the composition’s objectives and statements of problems and limitations.
