Description

The Great Animal Orchestra: Finding the Origins of Music in the World's Wild Places

By exploring the natural soundscapes of the world's wildest places, musician and naturalist Bernie Krause reveals the fascinating ways in which animals rely on their aural habitats to survive. From the snapping shrimp to the songs of humpback whales, Krause shares his personal narrative of the planet's deep and connected natural sounds and rhythms.

This book is an impassioned case for the conservation of one of our most overlooked natural resources - the music of the wild. With intimate stories of his encounters with jaguars, mountain gorillas, and other incredible creatures, Krause shows how the natural world's voices and rhythms have formed the basis of our own musical expression.
