These 2 works were adapted to become part of the 1993 book, The Soundscape: Our Sonic Environment and the Tuning of the World - R. Murray Schafer (ISBN 0-89281-455-1) 1977 Five village soundscapes (Music of the environment series) - A.R.C.

Publications which emerged from the project include The Book of Noise (1968) [2] and The Tuning of the World (1977), [3] both by Schafer, as well as the Handbook for Acoustic Ecology (1978) [4] by Barry Truax. The project has thus far resulted in two major tours, in Canada and Europe, the results of which comprise the World Soundscape Library.
