520			_a"When it comes to listening more clearly, says R. Murray Schafer, society is in need of a big old Q-tip. 'Our senses are clogged with too much,' Schafer says. He should know. The septuagenarian is a pre-eminent composer--when asked to name a great music teacher, John Cage answered, 'Murray Schafer of Canada'--and writer who defined the field of 'acoustic ecology' in his seminal 1977 text, The Tuning of the World (Knopf). More than a defensive tactic to fight noise pollution or block out sound, 'acoustic ecology' seeks to accentuate--and revel in--the delicate balance between organisms and their sonic environment." (UTNE READER) This article presents an interview with R. Murray Schafer in which the composer discusses "the lost art of listening and how we can pay attention to--and improve--our soundscape."
