TALKIN' AROUND #03. Soundscape and Author-Driven Documentary: From Murray Schafer to Ibero-American Practice

Thinking about author-driven sound documentary through the lens of Murray Schafer is not an exercise in erudition: it is a toolbox. The soundscape, that totality of sounds within an environment, with its keynotes, signals, and soundmarks, offers a framework for listening before narrating, and for assuming that the environment does not merely “accompany” a story: it is part of the plot, a character with agency. Acoustic ecology also suggests an ethic: to record, edit, and distribute in ways that do not impoverish the sonic fabric from which we draw.
