Abstract(s)
Raymond Murray Schafer, a composer, writer, environmentalist, and long-time leading figure in acoustic ecology, would have celebrated his 91st birthday this year. A versatile artist and theorist, he expanded his musical compositions to include a layer of natural-environment sound and took interpretations of his concert-hall compositions outdoors. This text works with Schafer's approach to acoustic ecology. By drawing on acoustic-ecological research mapping and the relationships between people and their environment, it shows Schafer's approaches to the investigation of our sound environment and updates of some of his theories with the soundscape of the city centre of Brno, Czech Republic.
