IASP (International Association of Sound and Place)

The International Association of Sound and Place (IASP) is a global organization dedicated to exploring the relationship between sound, environment, and human experience. It promotes the study and appreciation of how natural and built environments influence soundscapes— the unique auditory qualities of different places. IASP fosters collaboration among artists, researchers, and communities to understand and preserve the sonic character of diverse locations, emphasizing the importance of sound in shaping cultural identity and well-being. Through events, research, and advocacy, IASP aims to raise awareness about sound’s role in place-based experiences and environmental stewardship.
