The Great Animal Orchestra: Finding the Origins of Music in the World's Wild Places
Bernie Krause is one of the world's experts in natural sound,
and here we listen through Krause's ears as he collects the
sounds of purring jaguars, snapping shrimp, cracking glaciers--and
the roar of the wild. It is an intensely personal narrative of life
as it hits the ears, and of the planet's deeply connected
natural sounds and music. Krause also shows that just as
streetlights drown out the stars, human noise is vanishing the
sounds of nature--and the very soundscapes that help us understand
how wild sound and music connect. A travelogue of sound based on a
lifetime of study, this account will leave you hearing--and
seeing--nature as never before.
