Answer the questions below in short paragraph form (200-300 words per paragraph).
Questions

1. Why is this considered music?
2. How does this work exemplify the goals of the World Soundscape Project? Is it successful? (Read the program notes below)
3. The first section change begins at about 1:16 and last about 15 seconds. What happens at this point that gives a sense of structural change to the work?
4. What elements of counterpoint are used in the first 2 minutes? (describe all the sounds and their start times) How are the different lines differentiated? Bach used pitches – what does Westerkamp use?
5. Westerkamp states:
   “I like walking the edge between the real sound and the processed sound. On the one hand, I want the listener to recognize the source, and thus want to establish a sense of place. But on the other hand, I am also fascinated with the processing of sound in the studio and making its source essentially unrecognizable. This allows me as a composer to explore the sound’s musical/acoustic potential in depth”.
   Did you get a sense of place in this work? How did the notion of “another place” come through?
