Finnish society for ethnomusicology publ., 

This collection of essays, edited by Helmi Järviluoma and Gregg Wagstaff (2002), has contributions from an international and multidisciplinary team of researchers, from Architecture, Ethnomusicology, Sonic Art, (Time) Geography, Biology, Sociology and Urban planning.

"These studies of the acoustic order provide models of a rich cultural phenomenology which promises to renovate the stale hermeneutics of much recent cultural theory."
– Bruce Johnson, Associate Professor, University of New South Wales
