The World Soundscape Project

World Soundscape Project. Founded by R. Murray Schafer in the late 1960s with headquarters at Simon Fraser University. This research group has secured Canada a place in the forefront of the study of soundscape ecology. It was highly productive until the late 1970s, then had to slow down its activities, but emerged in the late 1980s with renewed energy in its interdisciplinary quest to understand the principles of acoustic ecology. Among Schafer’s associates in the early stages of the project were Howard Broomfield, Bruce Davis, Peter Huse, Barry Truax, Hildegard Westerkamp, and Adam Woog. The Donner Canadian Foundation, the Canada Council, and UNESCO have provided financial assistance.
