ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the amalgams of orthodoxies and orthopraxis of salient soundscape concepts that are exercised in manifold configurations in soundscape compositions and related practices. Naming, attending to, and more deeply examining these aural vicissitudes, it is hoped, will inform future expressions of sound design practice in a deeper manner, as habitually experienced by our everyday listening and encountered in our everyday soundscape, a discussion that should provoke the sound designer’s ever-increasing dependency on tried and tested stock sound effects.
