Editorial Reviews
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
I'm always surprised when people remark to me that Alaska seems remote and exotic. Less than a 4 hour flight from San Francisco, there lies a vast area extending west from Juneau - one of the most breathtaking expanses of landscape in the United States. An area rich in marine and terrestrial bird and mammal life, it virtually teams with creature activity each spring and summer. What is especially notable are the voices of whales, seals, and even multi-colored anemones (found in tide pools that line the shore). Drop a hydrophone (underwater mic) in the water and, at any given time, you can hear humpback whales feeding, snapping shrimp, orcas vocalizing, or even the oscillating caudal fins of salmon as they swim by. Glaciers calving and moving over the land's surface are among the more compelling sounds we've captured.

WHALES, WOLVES and EAGLES of GLACIER BAY. Few places on earth are as vibrant and dynamic as Alaska. The Southeastern region, especially around Glacier Bay National Park, combines marine and terrestrial life in ways that occur nowhere else on the planet. The magic is heard everywhere - above and below the surface of the water, the forests, the seashore, and even in the tidepools close to shore.
