arry was one of the members of the World Soundscape Project in 1973 at SFU when it pioneered the study of acoustic environments and published the Vancouver Soundscape recordings and booklet. Since then this work has achieved an international profile through the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology. Barry’s work has also included the creation of soundscape compositions, musical pieces that use environmental sounds. Barry will trace this history and play examples.
