To see what your friends thought of this book, please sign up. It was in some ways very moving. I found it captivating, like a piece of music. Krause records soundscapes of forests and meadows before and after more subtle environmental degradation and compares the richness of each spectrograph, a graphic representation of the sounds he captures. It lasts much longer too, still audible on my recording well after two minutes of its initial appearance. More critically, he examines and demonstrates to us the wondrous acoustic communication mechanisms throughout the natural world and their practical, very real impact on a functional planet. He described an experiment done that connects stress to traffic and other 'city-type' noises. Animals - General. The very soundscapes Krause seeks out are by their nature richer and more varied than Roxborough at dusk. Really well written, shows how disconnected we are from the natural world through multiple ideas regarding how soundscapes work and connects us.
  • Acoustic Ecology by Jonah Raskin

    Acoustic Ecology by Jonah Raskin

    Here’s (and Ears) to the Bay Area Soundscape: A Journey Into the World of Acoustic Ecology By Jonah Raskin Sharon Perry and her husband Dan Dugan inhabit a converted warehouse with double walls to keep out the racket from a neighborhood wedged between Interstate 280 and Highway 101. Today, on the pavement outside their living and workspace, I don’t hear a bird chirp or tweet , but inside it’s another world. Perry and Dugan have a vast digital library of bird songs they’ve recorded across Northern California. At any time of day or night they can press a button and transform their stark urban environment into a rich auditory habitat. Right now they’re higher than kites. They’ve just returned from an expedition to a marsh in the Sierra Nevada where they taped cranes, ibises, pelicans, and snipes. Perry and Dugan didn’t spy a single snipe—a bird that perches invisibly among reeds— but they heard them. “The snipe makes an amazing winnowing sound,” Dugan tells me. “It came out of nowhere. We heard a snipe solo and then a whole orchestra of birds.” Dugan pressed a button and turned up the volume; instantly, I felt transported to a wild marsh. Tried and true members of the Nature Sounds Society, Perry and Dugan are near the very heart of the fast-growing field of “acoustic ecology” which studies the relationships between sounds, species, and geographical spaces. Acoustic ecologists listen to the “geophony” – the rumblings and grumblings of the earth itself including wind and rain – and the “biophony” – the cries and whispers made by living creatures, from whales and wolves to crickets and birds.

David Carter B.Music / Music Technology (Honours, First Class) Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree Doctor of Philosophy 19 June 2008 Keywords Contemporary Music; Dance Music; Disco; DJ; DJ Spooky; Dub; Eight Lines; Electronica; Electronic Music; Errata Erratum; Experimental Music; Hip Hop; House; IDM; Influence; Techno; John Cage; Minimalism; Music History; Musicology; Rave; Reich Remixed; Scanner; Surface Noise. i Abstract In the late 1990s critics, journalists and music scholars began referring to a loosely associated group of artists within Electronica who, it was claimed, represented a new breed of experimentalism predicated on the work of composers such as John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen and Steve Reich. Though anecdotal evidence exists, such claims by, or about, these ‘Clever Children’ have not been adequately substantiated and are indicative of a loss of history in relation to electronic music forms (referred to hereafter as Electronica) in popular culture. With the emergence of the Clever Children there is a pressing need to redress this loss of history through academic scholarship that seeks to document and critically reflect on the rhizomatic developments of Electronica and its place within the history of twentieth century music.
