nature's symphony

From NPR's On Point.  HT dmf.

Nature speaks. We’ll hear a symphony of natural sound. Growls and gurgles, wind and water, wolf and jaguar, glaciers on the move.



Way back in his career, natural sound legend Bernie Krause was all about electronic music and human performers:  The Doors, Van Morrison, Mick Jagger.  Then Bernie Krause went over to the wild side.  To nature’s own symphony.

He took his world-class recording chops into jungle and tundra, rain forest and ocean swell.  To the sound of glaciers moving, jaguars growling, beavers crying, wolves, vultures, orcas, snow.  His collection is incredible.  He’s with us, with all that sound.
