5.0 out of 5 stars
The most important book on sound in 150 years.
When R. Murray Schafer first published TUNING OF THE WORLD (the subtitle of this edition) in 1977, it had a stunning and lasting affect on musicians and recordists throughout the world. Every facet of this work is important to know about and the narrative still reads like a contemporary novel - impossible to put down and never dated. He informs us how to re-train our ears...

When R. Murray Schafer first published TUNING OF THE WORLD (the subtitle of this edition) in 1977, it had a stunning and lasting affect on musicians and recordists throughout the world. Every facet of this work is important to know about and the narrative still reads like a contemporary novel - impossible to put down and never dated. He informs us how to re-train our ears to listen better and more wisely. He defines, for the first time, the soundscape and the myriad ways it fits into and affects our lives.
This book is seminal to my work as a naturalist and sound designer and I have read it many times in the past three decades. It is that important. Bernie Krause, PhD

The Soundscape by Murray Schaffer,
This review is from: The Soundscape (Paperback)
It is a great book about the sounds that build our enviroment, from nature to cities. It does so in a very poetic, well informed, and beautifull way.
Very easy to read. A very inspiring book for musicians, architects and installation artists.
