SOUNDSCAPE1970-2016

The "soundscape" concept emerged in the 1960s through the work of R. Murray Schafer, a Canadian music theorist. It refers to all sounds present in an environment, both natural and human-produced. Schafer and his team focused on studying and recording these sounds, promoting more conscious listening. The soundscape has been fundamental to cultural and ecological preservation, offering historical and cultural insight through specific recordings. It has also influenced art and music, inspiring works based on field recordings.This concept has driven environmental awareness, leading to noise control policies and more sound-friendly urban design. In summary, soundscape highlights the importance of sounds in our daily lives and their impact on our understanding of our environment and culture.
