The Border Soundscapes Project is based on Schafer's (1977) “World Soundscapes Project,” which made sound a formal subject of research and a fundamental dimension of what it means to “inhabit” the world in a “universal” composition in which we all participate. Through this study, we embark on a search for a border sound identity—a polyphonous representation of who border residents are, how we coexist, and how we clash in spite and because of being a border community.
