Coming Attractions!

Making the connection with new friends will be a big part of this revitalization of the team.  We'll make room to create a healthy and diverse community habitat…

As Bernie Krause and I often travelled together in the early days of our marriage and, as I began to accompany him alongside into the field on numerous recording adventures, we connected with people around the globe, in some of the world's most remote places.   Upon our return back home, we relied upon the occasional posted letter or rare e-mail from far-away places to keep in touch with some of the friends we made along the way.  As the early years of 2000 passed by, more friends and…

TED Global is a fine forum of thought leaders from around the world, sharing their finest efforts on behalf of technology, education/entertainment, and design of 'many stripes'.  This past June (2014), Wild Sanctuary's Bernie Krause addressed the audience about his on-going efforts to explore 'the Voice of the Natural World', and how the soundscapes of the natural wild inform our music, language, and dance - from the ancient past to the undiscovered future.

It seems that recent article in Bio-Science (Mar. 2011) has shared our interest in Soundscape Ecology with the world!  You might say it's 'gone Twibe-al'.  In between listening for the lovely tweets of the natural world, 'tweets' coming from the digital world seem to be increasing. http://www.twibes.com/group/SoundscapeEcology

Many thanks to KQED's terrific 'Climate Watch' report by Craig Miller - with more to say about Soundscape Ecology in 'Eco-systems by Ear: It's About Time'.

Proud to announce that the March 2011 issue of BioScience, the American Institute of Biological Sciences peer-reviewed, heavily cited, monthly journal, features 'Soundscape Ecology: The Science of Sound in the Landscape', co-authored by Bernie Krause with colleagues Bryan Pijanowski and… Continue

When Wild Sanctuary was building it's first archives of soundscape samples in 1968, hardly anyone, anywhere, could imagine why someone would want to do such a thing. But what marvelous changes friendly technology and a bit of time can bring to public perceptions! Just look at the amazing list of Soundmaps put together by Music of Sound, New Zeland; our thanks to them for this great post. Check it out:… Continue
