Vol. 4 No. 2 (2003): ..acoustic ecology... an international symposium, Melbourne, Australia
This issue of Soundscape has been created around the International Symposium on Acoustic Ecology in Melbourne, Australia, March 19—23, 2003. Nigel Frayne’s reports on pp 4-5 will give you a first-hand account of how the symposium came about and what was involved in organising it. In Perspectives you will find two reports by participants Paul Howard and Gordon Monro (pp. 37- 39), whose differing ways of writing about the event make for interesting reading. Also in Perspectives, Helen Dilkes reports on Murray Schafer’s ear cleaning work with Melbourne school children and its subsequent presentation at the symposium (p. 44). And Lawrence Harvey reports about a new education and research program at RMIT University in Melbourne, which investigates the aural dimensions of architectural teaching, practice, and design, as well as composition and listening.
