Please join us for the first meeting of the NY Chapter of the American
Society for Acoustic Ecology. This is an organizational meeting to introduce
interested people to the newly formed ASAE and discuss plans for future
acoustic ecology activities and events in the greater NY Metropolitan area.
While we hope to engage a broad spectrum of participants (including students
and those who are simply curious about sound in their environment) persons
who work in the arts, environmental and applied sciences, new media or
cultural studies might find this organization of particular interest.
Information on becoming a member of the ASAE (which includes affiliate
membership in the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology) will be provided at the
meeting.

MISSION OF THE ASAE:
The American Society for Acoustic Ecology (ASAE) is a membership
organization dedicated to exploring the role of sound in natural habitats
and human societies, and promoting public dialogue concerning the i
dentification, preservation, and restoration of natural and cultural sound
environments.
The ASAE will:
* Disseminate research results and curriculum materials, sponsor lectures,
conferences and other events, and support creative exploration of the
soundscape through sound art and installations.
* Foster cross-disciplinary research and discussion about the impacts of
natural and human-made sound on the biosphere, including Earth's oceans,
land, and air, and contribute to the development of guidelines to identify
and modify human-generated acoustic environments that pose a significant
ecological or health risk.
* Provide advice to public and private land managers about how best to
study, manage, and interpret natural sound environments for the benefit of
both visitors and wildlife, with sensitivity to the desire for both quiet
and motorized recreation.
Synthesize approaches to understanding and experiencing soundscapes as they
exist in the United States, and actively collaborate with other like-minded
organizations to contribute to the global awareness of sound's fundamental
impact on all living organisms.
