3. Background: From
Soundscape to Auditory
Geographies
« I call the acoustic
environment the
soundscape, by which I
mean the total field of
sounds wherever we are
“ (Schaffer 1992)
"Though Schaffer himself is a
musician and composer, his
terminology is heavily reliant
on visual metaphors”. He
replaces the term by
auditory geographies.
