Schafer contends that we suffer from an overabundance of acoustic information and explores ways to restore our ability to hear the nuances of sounds around us. This book is a pioneering exploration of our acoustic environment, past and present, and an attempt to imagine what it might become.

The Soundscape widens the sense of what music can be, including acoustic design as well as activism to protect the fragile soundscapes of our increasingly noisy Earth. The single most essential volume in this field.
