The Murie Center in Moose invites you to a four-day natural soundscape workshop, from 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 24, to noon Sunday, June 28, in Jackson Hole.
Led by bio-acousticians Bernie Krause, Martyn Stewart, and Kevin Colver, the focus will be the soundscape from many perspectives. These include the biophony — the non-human critter voices in given habitats, geophony — the non-biological sources of sound and what they reveal, and anthrophony — the noise that humans interject into the world and its direct affect on critter life and human experience. Attendees will explore the benefits of the voice of the natural world as it relates to human health and culture, including creative sound arts.
The workshop includes both field and classroom activities and is spread over a larger number of days and nights so that participants have several opportunities to record sounds. As part of the program, The Murie Center will provide accommodations in comfortable (but rustic) cabins and food service on site.
