Coming Attractions!  

We're happy to announce that we'll soon begin efforts on a new, revamped social network for the Soundscape Support Team. As we plan how to offer a better, more enjoyable, more productive on-line experience, build new community, and begin to really work together as a team, we invite your input!  

Making the connection with new friends will be a big part of this revitalization of the team.  We'll make room to create a healthy and diverse community habitat…

A Salute of Support!  The multi-talented Jez Riley French gets a quiet 'shout out' today for the many fine ways his work explores and expresses the world of soundscape, musical composition, and art.  His fine sensibilities, gifted talents,  and painstaking technical skills combine into a rather astonishing compilation that is well worth knowing about.   Some hydrophone stuff on YouTube (below) -- and do visit his well-crafted …

The great catalyst of biophony and the 'Niche Hypothesis' is finally taking hold.  Around the world, more research, more outreach, and more networking than ever is energizing a world of soundscape interest.
