Sounds of the Natural World, Pt. 1

Sounds of the Natural World, Pt. 1

Author: NC Museum of Natural Sciences July 27, 2022 Duration: 25:48

Join us for the first part of our dynamic conversation with musician, author and naturalist, Dr. Bernie Krause, one the world’s leading experts in natural sound and soundscapes — the sounds that reach human ears. Krause discusses his origins as a violinist-turned-guitarist, which led to him helping introduce the synthesizer in pop music and film, including collaborations with Motown Records and the legendary Hollywood director, Francis Ford Coppola. Later, Krause left the entertainment industry to obtain a PhD in bioacoustics, traveling the world to record, archive and share the voices of the natural world.


Produced by the NC Museum of Natural Sciences, Love Nature is built on a simple, powerful idea: our curiosity about the living world is a profound and shared starting point. This isn't a lecture series, but a series of conversations where that innate fascination leads the way. Each episode introduces you to a different voice-a scientist in the field, a researcher analyzing data, an artist interpreting patterns-who brings a unique perspective to our relationship with the environment. What unites them is a palpable passion, a personal story of connection that goes beyond academic interest. You'll hear the enthusiasm in their voices as they discuss not just what they study, but why it matters to them personally and what it reveals about our place in a complex, changing system. The discussions are lively and nuanced, often circling around a central theme of care and stewardship. By tuning into this podcast, you're invited into a space where expertise meets heartfelt advocacy, where learning about intricate ecosystems or animal behavior is intertwined with genuine hopes for their future. The goal is to leave each episode feeling that infectious spark of inspiration, equipped with a richer, more textured understanding of the natural forces around us and a clearer sense of how we, as inherently curious beings, can engage with them more thoughtfully. It’s about deepening that connection we all instinctively feel, one conversation at a time.
