Recapturing Soundscapes in The Tuning of the World
A Berkshire Eagle review of R. Murray Schafer’s The Tuning of the World 1977 Knopf edition. The essay outlines Schafer’s concept of the soundscape, contrasts high and low fidelity environments, and laments the loss of past sounds from Park Square to horse hooves. It notes his World Soundscape Project archives, critiques Muzak like “Moozak,” and praises the book’s vivid prose advocating preservation of fading sounds.
