Sonic experiences of place in Vermont: Narratives of changing land/soundscapes over time
The project examines the ways that Vermonters have experienced, talked about, and narrativized, via textual, material and sonic sources, the changing land/soundscapes of the state, historically and in the present. It investigates how Vermont’s land/soundscapes have changed with the introduction of new ambient elements from industrialization, urbanization, infrastructure, and social/demographic transformations [185, 186]. We
examine how these elements have been described across dynamics such as rural/urban, insider/outsider, and quiet/noise, and documented via a variety of media.
