In the fall of 1973, researchers of the World Soundscape Project undertook an extensive field recording tour of Canada. Material collected during that tour forms the basis of this series of radio compositions, each of which treats the Canadian sound environment uniquely. Every progrm is a special listening experience in itself, and as such often explores new dimensions of the radio medium. These programs are designed to stiimulate listeners' awareness of sound and its perception, in the hope that they might take positive and constructive interest in their own sound environments. ~Program 1. An introduction to the soundscape vai the themes: rhythm and tempo; ambience and acoustic space; language; gestures and textures; the changing soundscape; and silence.
