Spirit Walker
Expeditions has teamed up with bio-acoustics guru Bernie Krause for this
very special trip. In the late 1960's, Krause began his
ground-breaking life work in bioacoustics and the recording of
environments throughout the world, much of which has been accomplished
with techniques and technologies for recording, analyzing, and presenting
habitat- and species-specific sounds that Krause has developed on his own.
His album, In a Wild Sanctuary (WB,
1970), 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. Under the company name Wild Sanctuary,
Inc., Krause continues to share his compelling field experiences through
his musical albums and dramatic sound installations in public spaces such
as museums, zoos, and aquaria. Krause holds a Ph. D. with an Internship in
bio-acoustics from Union Institute, Cincinnati.
Spring and
summer Alaska teams with wildlife. Rich in bird life, drop a hydrophone in
the water and, at any given moment, you'll hear pods of killer whales,
humpbacks feeding, and even salmon oscillating their caudal fins as they
swim close by. |
