SFU Sonic Research Studio

Description:

The Sonic Research Studio was established in the late 1960s at Simon Fraser University by Canadian composer and foundational sound studies researcher R.M. Schafer, to pursue soundscape research through the World Soundscape Project. Since the 1970s, the studio has been home to several notable and longstanding researchers in acoustic ecology. The studio contains a wealth of archival materials in soundscape studies and acoustic ecology, as well as cutting edge technology for research in listening, soundscape composition, sonification for social change, and various cultural studies of sound.
