Figure, ground, and field map onto signal, keynote, and soundscape

Evidence

The general relationship between these three terms and a set I have been employing in this book is now obvious: the figure corresponds to the signal or the soundmark, the ground to the ambient sounds around it—which may often be keynote sounds—and the field to the place where all the sounds occur, the soundscape. — Schafer, Murray R, The Soundscape- Our Sonic Environment…, 501

Categorization

• XREF: Connects directly to the reader’s own vocabulary work on soundscape terms (signal, soundmark, keynote, ambience) already used throughout this book. — connects to: Lo-fi soundscapes erase the distinction between signal and noise; A single location can present a bipolar, tactile-verging sound field — Pauline Oliveros, Deep Listening, 454
• corroborated: 3 independent passages support this claim — Schafer, Murray R, The Soundscape- Our Sonic Environment…, 501
