About Soundscape

A group for those wishing to share and discuss soundscape art.

What is Soundscape?

The term soundscape refers to the acoustic environment of man.

As such, it refers in the first place to the natural acoustic environment of man, consisting of the sounds of the forces of nature, animals, and man. This is the domain of acoustic design (Raymond Murray Schafer).

Next to such "found" soundscape, there is also the soundscape deliberately created by man: think of the sound of gongs, bells, sirens and mist horns, which constitute a kind of primitive aural architecture.

Finally, there is the imaginary, "evocative" soundscape which evokes the presence of things or beings in space. In the cinema, such soundscapes are combined with the image on the screen, but there are also purely aural soundscapes (Bill Fontana, electronic music with loudspeakers disposed around the public).

Soundscapes are often combined with the performance of music.
