SOUNDSCAPE EXIBIT ORGANIZATIONS

We have partnered with several organizations to either fully create a soundscape exhibit for the public or add soundscape recordings to an exhibit where sound is a major feature of the presentation.

Exhibits that we have contributed to, or have fully designed and built, include:
