Environmental Sound Artists: In Their Own Words

Environmental Sound Artists: In Their Own Words, a new publication exploring the international environmental sound art movement, features the essay Sonic Migrations: listening in-between, sensing place by Ximena Alarcón and the introduction written by Jono Gilmurray.
