The Soundscape: Our Sonic Environment & the Tuning of the World R. Murray Schafer
Publisher: Inner Traditions/Bear & Company

World Listening Day is an annual event intended to celebrate different ways we can focus on our soundscape (sonic environment); to raise awareness about the acoustic ecology movement, including ideas regarding how noise pollution can be reduced; I wish I had some CC field recording suggestions at the moment, but instead I'll just add that Schafer's THE TUNING OF THE WORLD is a crazy, interesting read about his ideas on soundscape, noise pollution, etc. I have really been getting into the book 'The Soundscape: Our Sonic Environment and the tuning of the World' by the composer and Soundscape researcher R. The book talks about our sonic environment, the ever-present array of noises with which we all live. Murray (born 18 July 1933) is a Canadian composer, writer, music educator and environmentalist perhaps best known for his World Soundscape Project, concern for acoustic ecology, and his book The Tuning of the World (1977), of which I'll talk now. Murray Schafer explicitly took issue with Schaeffer's positions in his book The Tuning of the World (although it's been a while since I read it, and I don't own a copy to verify). €�A central tenet of the Soundscape concept is that humans immersed in sonic environments are objective measuring instruments (New Experts), whose reports and descriptions must be taken seriously and quantified by technical measurements. Murray Schafer, who researched how sonic environments are being effected by urban development. My sound-walking technique is primarily influenced by Vancouver's World Soundscape Project in the 1970s, led by R. Murray Shaffer begins his book “Soundscape – The Tuning of the World” with the somewhat obvious statement that the soundscape of the world is changing and that the contemporary acoustic environment is radically different to any before it. A letter from one Ontario Public Health unit states, “Our public health unit does not have the recourse, resources or expertise to monitor the health effects of turbines and seek the type of remedy you are looking for.
