MA Project

This research project will examine how soundscapes captured in alpine regions can promote the expansion of environmental awareness practices to encompass survival, protection, and appreciation. It aims to record audio clips of natural ecosystems for editing and comparison of anthrophony-free sound to provoke a deeper understanding of human impact and relationship to nature. It will also demonstrate how soundscape recordings can be accompanied by data-driven short auditory cue

The intent of this research project is to expand environmental awareness practices as means of survival, protection, and appreciation. Environmental awareness is increasingly vital in sustaining the lives of humankind as well as Earth and its ecosystems. Modern capitalistic approaches to sustainability will not matter if there is no longer a habitat for humankind. By collecting data from an environment over the course of field excursions and transcoding them into sonic signi

This research project will be conducted with field expeditions to the alpine regions of Colorado for audio sample collection over the course of Winter in 2022 and 2023. The technical hardware necessary for the field research aspects of this project includes recording devices for deployment and active use as well as a global positioning system with a compass. The Garmin eTrex 32x global positioning system (GPS) can be used to record waypoints and routes, with time and distance

By focusing my research on psycho-ecoacoustics, the exploration will uncover the connection between auditory experience in hearing-abled persons and environmental awareness in the practices of surviving, protecting, and appreciating the environment. Collecting recordings of ecological soundscapes in the alpine regions of Colorado will provide many examples for clear comparisons, as well as the intersections, of the natural and built environments. Clearing sound clips of the m
