About the Artist
Renowned naturalist and sound designer Dr. Bernie Krause has traveled the world capturing the soundscapes of exotic natural environments. Dr. Krause began his groundbreaking work in bioacoustics and environmental recording in the late 1960's, and much of his work has been accomplished with techniques and technologies that he personally developed. His "In A Wild Sanctuary" (1970) recording earned a place in history as being the first recording to use environmental sounds as both a central component of orchestration and as a statement about the environment.
Dr. Krause's diverse achievements include 10 recordings for The Nature Company that have enjoyed over $24 million in gross sales over a period of 6 years. Development of the audio technology innovation known as the Intelligent Show System (for public exhibitions and installations), and his Music and Word Series of spoken word documents that include "Ishi - The Last Yahi." Dr. Krause recently published the book "Wild Soundscapes" (2002) that includes a full-length CD featuring a sampling of natural sounds.
Product Description
At the eastern foot of the Askinuk Mountains, my wife and I recorded late one spring. Just past the peak of the nesting season, there were still plenty of birds. Everywhere we walked they could be found nesting in the soft tundra vegetation, completely unperturbed by our presence. Among them were the savanna sparrow, dark-eyed junco, Wilson's warblers, yellow wagtails, ruby-crowned kinglets, wheatears, snipes, long tailed jaegers, and mergansers. We also sighted and recorded a nesting pair of Arctic loons not far from our campsite.
WINDS ACROSS the TUNDRA was recorded along the eastern slope of the Askinuk Mountains in the western Alaska tundra late in spring. Just past the peak of the nesting season, an abundance of bird activity and fine weather conspired to provide an opportunity for spectacular recordings. Everywhere we walked, birds nesting in the begetation at our feet were surprisingly undisturbed by our close presence. As the weather held, we captured nearly four full days of delightful sub-arctic soundscapes on tape.
