After Dark: Biophony
With Bernie Krause
In celebration of the West Coast premiere of The Great Animal Orchestra, we tune our ears to the sounds and the science of the biophony. This term, coined by soundscape artist Bernie Krause, is a way of describing the total nonhuman symphony created by all living organisms in a habitat. We'll dig into the science of that biophony, what it reveals about the health of an ecosystem, and how artists and scientists capture and join in on the conversation. Tonight only, you'll be able to hear about some of these projects and studies directly from Bernie Krause as he shares his approach to recording the natural world, what changes he has heard in our planet's ecological systems over his lengthy career, and his experience in developing The Great Animal Orchestra.
