In the wild, symphonies of natural soundscapes and creature voices combine into vital biophonies - holistic acoustic signatures that communicate place, time, and habitat health. Bio-acoustician and CEO, Dr. Bernie Krause states that over 40% of the original
field-recording locations have already been lost due to increasing habitat degradation and human noise.
From Wikipedia, Bernie Krause... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Kraus
Bernie Krause (born 8 December 1938 in Detroit, Michigan) is an American bioacoustician. He coined the term, "biophony". In a previous career as a musician, he was a member of The Weavers, and was one of the first players of the Moog Synthesizer in the 1960s. He formed Beaver & Krause with fellow synthesist Paul Beaver (who had played the instrument on a Monkees recording, "Star Collector"), to make electronic music featuring the Moog and other instruments.
In November 1968, Krause demonstrated the Moog for Beatle George Harrison, who was visiting California; a recording of the session became the basis of "No Time Or Space", a track featured on Harrison's Electronic Sound album the next year. Krause also provided soundtrack music for Rosemary's Baby, Love Story, Dr. Doolittle, and Apocalypse Now.
Krause holds a Ph.D. in bioacoustics from Union Institute in Cincinnati, and is also remembered as the "Pied Piper" who lured a stray humpback whale from the Sacramento River Delta back to the Pacific Ocean, through the use of sounds.
Krause's 1970 album In a Wild Sanctuary was the first to employ the sounds of nature on a large scale, as a source of musical tones and rhythms, and to make a statement about the environment. Krause continues to compose and produce electronic and environmentally-themed music, including a popular series of albums for The Nature Company.
In 1998, Heyday Books published Krause's autobiography, Into a Wild Sanctuary: A Life in Music and Natural Sound.
In 2002, Wilderness Press published his instructional Wild Soundscapes: Discovering the Voice of the Natural World with companion CD.
In 2007, Krause demonstrated a KML layer to Google Earth and Google Maps that makes it possible to listen to the soundscapes from all over the world. He's planning to make part of his sound collection available via this add-on.
From Wikipedia, Beaver and Krause... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaver_&_Krause
Beaver & Krause were a musical duo made up of Paul Beaver and Bernie Krause. Their 1967 album The Nonesuch Guide to Electronic Music was a pioneering work in the electronic music genre.
In June 1967, Beaver and Krause set up a booth at the Monterey Pop Festival, demonstrating their newly purchased electronic synthesiser, one of the first constructed by Bob Moog. Beaver introduced Monkees singer-drummer Micky Dolenz to the Moog, which became a featured instrument on the fourth Monkees album, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd., and Beaver himself performed on one track, "Star Collector". Thanks to their demonstrations of the Moog at Monterey, Beaver and Krause also introduced the instrument to a number of other leading American pop acts including The Doors, Simon & Garfunkel and The Byrds, helping to create the vogue for the Moog that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Both Michael Bloomfield and Ronnie Montrose played guitar on the Beaver & Krause song "Saga Of The Blue Beaver". The duo ended on Beaver's death in 1975.
