World Soundscape Project"A research project centred at the Sonic Research Studio of the Scool of Communication (formerly the Department of Communication Studies), Simon Fraser University, British Columbia, Canada, devoted to the comparative study of the world SOUNDSCAPE. The project formally came into existence in 1971 after preliminary work in the late 1960s, and since that time a number of national and international research studies have been conducted, dealing with aural perception, community soundscapes, SOUND POLLUTION, etc., all of which have attempted to unite the arts and sciences of sound studies in the development of the interdiscipline of SOUNDSCAPE DESIGN. See also: SOUNDSCAPE ECOLOGY."
"The World Soundscape Project (WSP) was established as an educational and research group by R. Murray Schafer at Simon Fraser University during the late 1960s and early 1970s. It grew out of Schafer's initial attempt to draw attention to the sonic environment through a course in noise pollution, as well as from his personal distaste for the more raucous aspects of Vancouver's rapidly changing soundscape."
