Bernie Krause TED sound science and technoogy science nature
50% of my archive comes from habitats so radically altered that they’re either altogether silent or can no longer be heard in any of their original form… It’s like taking out of the human musical repertoire everything that Mozart ever wrote. It’s at that level… If you’re a religious person, this may be the last chance to hear the voice of the divine because, to me, that’s as close as we’re ever going to get.

Bioacoustician Bernie Krause, who has been recording the sound of the wild for 45 years, on NPR’s TED Radio Hour. Fittingly, he also created the iconic helicopter sound in the opening scene of Apocalypse Now. 

Krause is the author of the fascinating book The Great Animal Orchestra.
