The World Soundscape Project (WSP) was established as an educational and research group by R. Murray Schafer at 911³Ô¹Ï 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.
