The Book of Noise
In addition to his achievements as a composer, musician and educator, R. Murray Schafer brought attention to noise pollution through his pioneering research. To get a taste of his research, read an excerpt from The Book of Noise, Schafer's examination of what he called "sonic sewage."
To learn more and read the entirety of The Book of Noise, visit the Sonic Research Studio & Word Soundscape Project's website.
