Dear Locustreamers,

I want to let you know that the 2012 September-October bimonthly WFAE Newsletter is now online at: http://wfae.net/newsletter/.

My own report mentions some good news about the 2011 print journal, Soundscape: Journal for Acoustic Ecology, and reviews The Global Composition: Conference on Sound, Media, and Environment that happened lat month in Germany. Also, the ASAE has its own listserv that you can subscribe to at http://acousticecology.us/asae-listserv/

This issue includes a feature article by Albert Mayr on defining the field of acoustic-ecology; a personal response to The Global Composition conference by Carmen Braden; and a special tribute to Journal Editor Hildegard Westerkamp by Nigel Frayne.

All the best, Eric
