Description

Bernie Krause is the world's leading expert in natural sound. He has spent the last 40 years recording ecological soundscapes and has archived the sounds of over 15,000 species - half of the wild soundscapes he has on tape don't exist anymore because of human actions. Krause divides natural sound into three categories.;Prelude : Echoes of the past -- Sound as my mentor -- Voices from the land -- The organized sound of life itself -- Biophony : the proto-orchestra -- First notes -- Different croaks for different folks -- The fog of noise -- Noise and biophony/oil and water -- The coda of hope.
