In his newest book, <i><a href="http://yalebooks.com/book.asp?isbn=9780300206319" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">'Voices of the Wild: Animal Songs, Human Din, and the Call to Save Natural Soundscapes'</a> </i>(Yale Press, 2015), author, naturalist, and soundscape ecology pioneer Bernie Krause expands upon stories of his life-long work in bio-acoustics (and his on-going efforts to share awareness of the world's most beautiful soundscapes) with a glimpse of some of his most delightful and compelling personal anecdotes.<br />
<br />

<br />
A declaration in support of the appreciation and protection of natural soundscapes, Krause explains a few of the secrets hidden in the natural world's shrinking sonic environments - and how and why they must be preserved for scientific understanding, our cultural heritage, and humanity's physical and spiritual welfare.<br />
<br />
The quietly-stated and direct narrative - supplemented by exclusive access to field recordings from wild places around the world - documents, in part, a few of his reflections and early exploration of the field, with the hope of encouraging further consideration and expression of the subject by future generations of field recordists and soundscape enthusiasts to come.<br />

Visionary choreography takes a leap into the wild, as the celebrated <a href="https://www.linesballet.org/">Alonzo King Lines Ballet </a>company collaborated with us recently on a new world premiere ballet inspired by Bernie's book, <i><b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"><span id="goog_978617381"></span>'The Great Animal Orchestra: Finding the Origins of Music in the World's Wild Places'.<span id="goog_978617382"></span></a></b></i> <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In collaboration with inspired composer Richard Blackford, artist/author/soundscape ecologist Bernie Krause's newest work will premiere in the UK, at the Cheltenham Music Festival, July 12th, 2014. The CD and score will be released through Nimbus Records in September. This performance is part of an extended European tour that includes an exciting array of related public speaking and educational appearances, arts installations, and other planned events related to Bernie's most recent book, <a href="http://At Wild Sanctuary our new adventures into the uses of wild soundscapes within the public culture continue to increase as Bernie, Kat, and the team continue to find adventures unfold.

Noted composer Richard Blackford and Wild Sanctuary bio-acoustician Bernie Krause have collaborated on a new orchestral piece that will premiere July 2014 at the Cheltenham Music Festival. This new work, <i>'The Great Animal Orchestra Symphony for Orchestra and Wild Soundscapes'</i>, based upon concepts from Krause's recent book <i>'The Great Animal Orchestra: Finding the Origins of Music in the World's Wild Places'</i> (Little/Brown, 2103), is part of our ongoing program to help re-establish the vitality, value, and necessity of natural soundscapes in modern life. We thank Telegraph reporter, Geoffrey Lean, for his recent interview and subsequent news and blog articles on the subject:<br />

<span style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;">Wild Sanctuary is delighted to share our first announcement of a new symphony that will be premiered at the Cheltenham Music Festival (UK) on 12 July 2014. A creative collaboration between Richard Blackford, former Balloil College Oxford composer-in-residence, and author/soundscape ecologist Bernie Krause, this will be the first classical music expression that fully incorporates a broad range of biophonies as an integrated sonic texture within the context of orchestration.</span> </div>

<blockquote type="cite">
<div style="-webkit-line-break: after-white-space; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;">Based on themes developed in the narrative of Dr. Krause's recent book, <i><a href="http://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/bernie-krause/the-great-animal-orchestra/9780316192392/">“The Great Animal Orchestra: Finding the Origins of Music in the World’s Wild Places,”</a></i> the score is a culmination of the development of the premise that animals taught us to dance and sing.</span> The published and recorded versions of the orchestral work, composed by Richard Blackford with wild soundscapes by Bernie Krause, will be available through Nimbus Records, Autumn 2014. Future live performances of the symphony will be announced as they are scheduled.</div>

While designed only for temporary iteration, we hope that it's just the start of similar, more permanent efforts there, or in other retail facilities and public spaces around the world. Long innovators in unique merchandising, it seems that Selridge's is still, thankfully, willing to explore unique ways in which business efforts can also attempt cultural leadership, this one to help raise awareness about the distinctions between sound, noise, and quiet.<br />

Bernie and Kat Krause have long played instrumental parts within the world of soundscape exploration. In addition to preserving, protecting, and promoting soundscape awareness and furthering development of Soundscape Ecology for use in science, art, and outreach, their continuous expression of the harmony that can be found amid wilderness and the wild is a vital part of Wild Sanctuary's on-going effort.<br />

An exceptional new orchestral symphony - based on Bernie's most recent book - is currently being created as a collaborative effort with noted British composer, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Blackford">Richard Blackford</a>, and is now scheduled to premiere July 12, 2014, first at the <a href="http://www.cheltenhamfestivals.com/music/">Cheltenham Music Festival</a>, UK, and later in Wales, and the USA.<br />
<br />
The origins of music began in the wild, as creature voices joined in some particularly significant ways, likely inspiring humans to dance, sing, speak, and perform over eons of time. In this new expression, soundscape becomes both muse and instrument within the orchestral suite, an evolving exploration of the natural and musical worlds.<br />
<br />

<br />
It was the delight of the year to attend the recent TED Global conference in Edinburgh, Scotland, this summer. <br />
<br />
We met amazing people, doing extraordinary things to improve the world, their communities, and the environment. The innovation, creativity, dedication, and inspiration found within this international gathering of TED speakers is legend - and the hospitality, friendship, and connection found within the assembly of participants and attendees left a significant impression upon us. The positive spirit of the event (and the wide range of topics and approaches) was revitalizing, hopeful, and inspiring.<br />
<br />
Here, Bernie Krause shares his lifelong efforts to explore the world of Soundscape and how he came to understand ways in which the creature chorus of the wild informs our connection to the natural world, to culture, to spirituality - and to one and another.<br />
<br />
We hope you enjoy it.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Just as streetlights engulf the starlight, human noise is all too rapidly drowning out the living sounds of the natural world. For those who like a little wild nature in their days and nights, nothing can provide a sense of place like <i>sound.</i><br />
<br />
<a href="http://wildsanctuary.com/">Wild Sanctuary's</a> newly designed <a href="http://insidewildsanctuary.blogspot.com/">WildStore</a> features an incomparable collection of soundscape albums from the most amazing wild places left in the world! The collection of downloadable albums brings together several of the world's top nature recordists sharing their finest works. To browse the catalog and listen to the short sound clips provided, is to enter directly into the habitats portrayed: rich, resonant, and utterly real.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yhK8PAX73rg" width="420"></iframe><br />
Convenient <i>preview</i> (there is no word for pre-hear) <i>sliders</i> on the site provide a brief sense of content, artistic and exemplary detail for each album. Better yet, you can purchase full-length Mp3 selections by Krause, and his extraordinary colleagues in the field, that each provide a true sense of being at a particular place, season, and time. A collection - worth collecting, as habitats like this are rarely found, often costly to get to, and the ephemeral nature of their soundscapes even more difficult to capture with such accurate presence and vitality.<br />
