Krause. The Great Animal Orchestra : Finding the Origins of Music

Description: Bernie Krause. The Great Animal Orchestra : Finding the Origins of Music in the World's Wild Places. Little Brown 2012 Hardcover in DJ Very Good/Very Good Octavo 278 pp "Krause shares fascinating insight into how deeply animals rely on their aural habitat to survive and the damaging effects of extraneous noise on the delicate balance between predator and prey. But natural soundscapes aren't vital only to the animal kingdom; Krause explores how the myriad voices and rhythms of the natural world formed a basis from which our own musical expression emerged. From snapping shrimp, popping viruses, and the songs of humpback whales-whose voices, if unimpeded, could circle the earth in hours-to cracking glaciers, bubbling streams, and the roar of intense storms; from melody-singing birds to the organlike drone of wind blowing over reeds, the sounds Krause has experienced and describes are like no others."
