-
- Society & Culture
In this episode, we delve into the loss of animal sounds in our natural environment with Bernie Krause, a pioneer in the field of sound ecology. For over five decades, Bernie has traveled to the farthest reaches of our planet, capturing the symphony of nature's voices. His mission: To raise awareness about the urgent need to preserve these precious sonic environments. Bernie's work explores the beauty of the natural world and the impact of climate change and human activities on animals and their habitats. His work is a clarion call for us to recognize and address this growing environmental threat.
Bernie's journey as a bioacoustician started on a different note. Originally a musician, he's worked with artists such as The Doors and Stevie Wonder, and his recordings have graced countless documentaries, exhibitions, and film scores, including Apocalypse Now and Rosemary's Baby. His touring sound exhibit, "The Great Animal Orchestra," offers a breathtaking journey into a digital soundscape that captures the vastness and vulnerability of the natural world. He invites us to ponder an important question: Could the secrets hidden within soundscapes hold the keys to solving some of life's greatest mysteries?
Join us as we discuss the beauty and fragility of our planet's natural soundscapes and the urgent need to protect and preserve them for future generations.
