Greetings from a new subscriber. My interest in soundscape studies/acoustic ecology is as a curator of a large research collection of natural sound recordings from all over the world, including many 'atmosphere' recordings and sounds of natural events (storms, waterfalls, seawash, wind, etc). There are free listening facilities here at the British Library (Reader's Pass required). Further information is on our WWW site. --------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Ranft email: [log in to unmask] Curator, NSA Wildlife Section, voice: +44 (0)171-412-7402/3 The British Library, fax: +44 (0)171-412-7441 National Sound Archive, WWW: 96 Euston Road, http://www.bl.uk/collections/sound-archive/ London NWI 2DB, UK. --------------------------------------------------------------- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
