默里·謝弗

雷蒙德·默里·謝弗（Raymond Murray Schafer，1933年7月18日－2021年8月14日），是一名加拿大作曲家、作家、音樂教育家和環境論者。他最廣為人知的行動是「世界音景計劃」（World Soundscape Project），最著名的出版物是《世界的調音》（The Tuning of the World），又名《音景》（The Soundscape）。他是第一位朱爾斯-聖萊傑獎（Jules Léger Prize）的受領人，也曾獲得加拿大勳章（Order of Canada）。

## 學術

謝弗出生於加拿大安大略省的薩尼亞市。他曾於英國皇家音樂學院、多倫多皇家音樂學院、多倫多大學學習。在多倫多大學期間，他曾是理察·約翰斯頓的弟子。

他的音樂教育理論在全世界都受到推廣。在1960年代他在西門菲莎大學開始了音景理論的研究。

為了解釋音景的概念，謝弗在1969年提出了「聲音分裂」（schizophonia）這一詞，意味「聲音從它的來源和環境分離」，他解釋道：「我們總是將聲音從它的製造者身上分離出來。原本存在於自然宿主中的聲音被扯離，被賦予響度的放大然後變成獨立的存在。舉例來說，人唱歌或說話的聲音已經不全是直接從嘴裡發出的了，它可能來自世界上的任何一個角落。」

謝弗也是圖像記譜法的實踐者之一。

2005年，加拿大藝術協會授予謝弗沃爾特-卡森獎，這是加拿大藝術家最高榮譽之一。2009年，謝弗還榮獲加拿大表演藝術界最高榮譽之加拿大總督表演藝術獎。2013年，基於他在「當代音樂領域的國際聲譽和在聲音生態學領域的開創性貢獻」，他被授予雙重榮譽的加拿大勳章。
