SONCITIES PI Gascia Ouzounian will present as part of the ‘Urban Sound Environments’ session along with Professor Laudan Nooshin (Sonic Tehran) as part of Study Day: R. Murray Schafer’s Ecologies of Music and Sound Re-examined (virtual).

R. Murray Schafer’s Ecologies of Music and Sound Re-examined takes a critical look at three strands of his ideas–music education, acoustic ecology, and environmental music performance–in the context of 21st century society. An eclectic list of presenters include leading scholars and artists–both those who worked directly with/on Schafer, and those who have written across the grain of his ideas. Also included are scholars who don’t connect their work with Schafer, but who are innovating in areas of education, acoustic ecology, and environmental performance. The format is a combination of stimulating 10-minute presentations and discussion.
