Finding the Origins of Music in the World's Wild Places
by Bernie Krause.
How animals communicate with “musicianly” voices and ears in a proto-orchestral manner, and how environmental noise takes its toll on these natural musicians of the wild.
The author's artistic sensibility and perception as both a musician and a naturalist, combine with solid science and a wealth of web-linked field recordings, to make this an extraordinary work.
Paperback
The idea of music originating in the sound-communication systems of wild animals is a sound and provocative hypothesis.
- E. O. Wilson (author of The Future of Life)
