A soundscape is a number of natural, Industrial or urban sounds that when combined together as a series of events creates an ambience and gives the listener an awareness of the environment through sound.
According to Murray Schafer there are three main elements to a soundscape.- Key Note Sounds, may not always be heard but they give us an idea of the environment, with sounds such as wind, animals, urban sounds.
- Sound signals, foreground sounds that jump out us such as alarms, bells and sirens.
- Soundmark, is a sound that is unique to a location.
I liked the idea these guys came up with, it was interesting to see how they gathered their sounds and went on to develop them in their own unique way. This piece of film illustrates the importance of sound and the impact when combined with images.
