The concept of landscape...puts emphasis on form, in just the same way that the concept of the body emphasizes the form rather than the function of a living creature. If the body is the form in which a creature is present as a being-in-the-world, then the world of its being-in presents itself in the form of the landscape. Like organism and environment, body and landscape are complementary terms: each implies the other, alternately as figure and ground. (Ingold, 2000: 193)

I wonder how the body and soundscape are also complementary terms. I would love to read Ingold. Thanks for the quote Juan!
