[EMS-NEWS] CALL FOR EARSHOT NO. 5 THE JOURNAL OF THE UK & IRELAND SOUNDSCAPE COMMUNITY Title: NOISE: Debates, Strategies and Methodologies Within the current milieu of the European Commission's noise mapping directive and the Greater London Authority's Ambient Noise Strategy, we welcome contributions from those of you that have been or are currently engaged in soundscape and/or noise studies within the UK and Ireland. We are interested to hear about your objectives, methodologies and findings. Moreover we are interested in the prevailing culture and health debate surrounding noise abatement, and the addition of noise issues to, for example, the estate agent's and tourist industry's agenda. As the built environment often defines and/or modulates our sonic environment, how are issues of sound and noise design being addressed in architectural/urban planning practitioner's education? Not only would we like to hear from environmental and urban studies but would also encourage contributions that have explored alternative approaches, such as community arts, direct action or culture jamming. Finally, we welcome contributions to the Members' Activities and Comments pages. The deadline for submissions is 30 July 2004. Submission guidelines, proposals and correspondence should be e-mailed to [log in to unmask] DISAPPEARING SOUNDMARKS CD We invite listeners in the UK and Ireland to submit audio recordings of endangered sounds that are special to you, your community or your locality.
