"The Garden of Adumbrations": An Anecdotal Soundscape
This thesis examines R. Murray Schafer’s conception of the “soundscape”, Pierre Schaeffer’s “acousmatic”, and the “anecdotal” works of iconoclast Luc Ferrari. Overviews of musical time scales, sound ecology, spatial perspectives, reduced listening, and schizophonia are undertaken along the way.
