The most important book on sound in 150 years.,
By Bernard Krause "Bernie Krause" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Soundscape (Paperback)
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 6 of 9 people found the following review helpful
