Description
Paul Holdengräber is joined by musician and soundscape ecologist Bernie Krause. Tune in as they discuss Krause’s career and how he arrived at soundscape ecology, the healing potential of natural soundscapes, and the importance in asking ourselves how we are acting toward the people and planet we love.Since 1968, Bernie Krause has traveled the world recording and archiving the sounds of creatures and environments large and small. Working at the research sites of Jane Goodall (Gombe, Tanzania), Biruté Galdikas (Camp Leakey, Borneo), and Dian Fossey (Karisoke, Rwanda), he identified the concepts of the Acoustic Niche Hypothesis (ANH), and biophony the collective and organized acoustic output as each species establishes unique frequency and/or temporal bandwidth within a given habitat. Krause, who holds a PhD in Creative Arts with an internship in Bioacoustics, was a key figure in implementing natural soundscapes as a resource for the U. S. National Park Service. His recent book, The Great Animal Orchestra: Finding the Origins of Music in the World’s Wild Places, was published by Little Brown/Hachette, March, 2012, and has been translated into eight languages.*You may notice the sounds of our natural world included in this special interview. This dawn chorus was captured by Bernie Krause and was recorded April 15th, 2020 at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park in Sonoma Valley, about 50 miles N. of San Francisco.*Credit: Sonoma Valley Sunrise, recording by Bernie Krause, © 2020 Wild Sanctuary.
