Peter,

We have this title and its accompanying CD in our collection.  You can view our bib and item records in our online catalog at www.lib.ringling.edu.

 

I listened to a few of the tracks and they seem to be recordings of ambient sounds of the city.

Dear Collective Wisdom,

Our record for the following states there was a CD released with this book. But we never processed one.

I find some anecdotal references on the web to such a CD. Dealers I have contacted have no clue.

Please respond off-list. If you have this title do you also have the "Sonic City" CD?

Thanks,

Peter
