| The authors distinguish between soundscape and aural architecture. The former emphasizes sound which has intrinsic importance. The latter emphasizes space and sounds serve merely to illustrate that space. A subtle and not necessarily relevant distinction. |

| "The 'scape' in 'landscape' is related to the English word 'shape', and it is also related to the German word 'schaffen' -- meaning both 'to work' and 'to create'." ... any landscape, the communicational included, is the result of human work." |

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your enquiry.
I hereby pass you on to Agnes, Committee Manager for ISO Acoustics. She will be better placed to help you within the rules of ISO.
All the best,
-----Oprindelig meddelelse-----

Dear Douglas,
Are you able to give me the authors or the names of the committee members of the soundscape standards documentation?
ISO 12913-1:2014
ISO/TS 12913-2:2018
and
ISO/TS 12913-3:2019
They appear all to be published under your technical committee (ISO/TC 43/SC 1) but I cannot find a list of the experts comprising that committee.
Regards,
Mark

Defines the terms hi-fi and lo-fi in terms of signal-to-noise ratio with the former having a higher ratio than the latter.
"The hi-fi soundscape is one in which discrete sounds can be heard clearly because of the low ambient noise level. ...sounds overlap less frequently; there is perspective--foreground and background."
"In a lo-fi soundscape individual acoustic signals are obscured in an overdense population of sounds. ... Perspective is lost." |
| "In the quiet ambience of the hi-fi soundscape the slightest disturbance can communicate vital or interesting information" |
Defines some features of the soundscape (his term):
Keynote sounds: Ubiquitous, fundamental and pervasive background sounds (Gestalt ground) that are not always consciously heard.
Signals: Foreground sounds (Gestalt figure) that are consciously listened to.
Soundmark: A sound that is unique to the soundscape or that particularly aids in the identification of place.
archetypal sounds: sounds possessed of a symbolism, inherited from ancient times that have a mystery about them.
His use of the Gestalt terms is a little different to its use in the psychology of visual perception where a figure is perceived only because it is given mass and outline by the ground. For Schafer, any outlining is performed by the keynote sounds not on the signal sounds but on the characters of those who live among them--humans are defined in part by their acoustic environment. |
| Schafer claims that early societies had fewer flat line sounds. Any increase in these sounds came with the Industrial Revolution. For Schafer, discrete sounds have a biological life (they're born, they live, they die) and provide a sense of duration to the listener marking the passage of time. Flat line sounds are 'suprabiological' with no sense of time implied. |

They define soundscape as “the perceptual construct of the (acoustic) environment“ —perceptual . . . Also: "Each chapter refers to soundscape within the definition “acoustic environment as perceived or experienced and/or understood by a person or people, in context”[cite]1337[/cite]." Also: "Soundscape is playing an emergent role" and numerous other similar constructs where the definite article is omitted.

| "The written word in early modern England still carried the bodily force of the spoken word. For us, written words are symbols, arbitrary signs of the things signified. For Shakespeare's contemporaries, I would argue, written words functioned as indices, as signs carrying a bodily, metonymic connection with the things being signified." |

| "The natural soundscape, for instance, may be heard and analyzed as a system of interrelated parts whose "acoustic ecology" reflects the natural ecological balance." |
| Defines the term acoustic community "as any soundscape in which acoustic information plays a pervasive role in the lives of the inhabitants ... it is any system within which acoustic information is exchanged." |
