GIANTS | Bernie Krause 

Bernie: "It's in your memory bank over long periods, long stretches of time over tens of thousands of years... and that's where these sounds are buried in us - these are the sources of our culture, these soundscapes. The further we draw away from the natural world the more disconnected we feel..." Who would have thought that connecting more deeply with the sounds around us could connect us more closely with the world around us, and one another? What a strange and wondrous path Bernie!

A great message in these bleak and transformative times.

Giants are great and are at their best in small things, and Krause is one of them without a doubt. Thank you for this great little journey.

This is wonderful! Have been a Moog fan since the 60s. Have a few of their products and think they are very special. I was a lonely weird noise lover, until the internet allowed me to connect with other people like me 🎶☮🌎 Thanks so much for sharing this.

Bernie is a huge inspiration to me as a bioacoustician. His work has completely changed my life. I am dedicated to preserving our soundscapes

Ohhh Gerry Mulligan!!!

Thank you so much Bernie - Totally impressed from your story ! Wish you all the best !

Thank you SOOOO much for this! Enjoyed immensely.

Happy to see Bernie is still with us!

This was beautiful. ✨ Powerful stuff, what Bernie Krause said about his nature soundscapes: • _"I’ve recorded the waves of different beaches around the world and every single beach has its own signature. So the waves have their own signature, they have their own rhythm, they have their own way that the environment expresses itself.”_ • _"It's embedded in our DNA, these natural sounds that when we live much more closely connected to the natural world, they're very much part of our experience and our lives. We've relied on them as signals to tell us which was a healthy environment as opposed to one under stress. It's in your memory bank over long periods long stretches of time tens of thousands of years. And that's where these sounds are buried in us.”_ • _“These are the sources of our culture, these soundscapes. The further we draw away from the natural world, the more disconnected we feel and the more disconnected we are.”_ • _"This sound of the natural world is the voice of the Divine. It's the preacher telling you what you need to know. It's the sanctuary that you need to be in and spend some time in. This is so deeply rooted in our physical being, not to mention our psychological and emotional being. It has a much greater impact on us."_ I've been listening to some of his work today and it made me feel peaceful. A reminder I need to spend more time in nature. Thank you, Bernie! 🙏🏻

Incredible! What beautiful story telling.

love this series. Thank you again for making.

The man who invented the discipline of Bio-acoustics, the possibility of studying the natural enviroments through sound

Yeah!

Very deep artistry. One can feel that he's in tune with the universe. 😊

I wish these Moog synths had a save button. Good video.

Your amazing Bernie. Thanks for this interview.

🧡

Just beautiful. On every level.

This was so inspiring. Thank you Bernie! I'm completely on your wavelength regarding natural sounds. I love recording them and I like to include them in music when I can.

Thank you so much for doing this it is just fantastic.

love it

Outstanding!

This xame up surprisingly I have his first two albums..thank you for this post greatly appreciated 🙏.

Fantastic video…thank you for doing this.

This is magical. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

Wonderful. What a live story.

outstanding.

I recently saw Kali Malone at Grace Cathedral in SF and thought it was so cool that they'd invite an experimental artist into the space; not knowing that they've been hosting experimental electronic music longer than I've been alive! This is a great little vid of an incredible artist.

Excellent ! ❤😊

Really interesting. Thank you!

WOW...just WOW

💙

great!

this video was a treat

Bernie also pioneered *digital sampling*...something I more than suspect he's ambivalent about. But check out his early digital album *Gorillas in the Mix*; it took thousands of human studio engineering hours to put it together, and now anybody can get apps to do this...Bernie was also involved in getting Humphrey the humpback whale to turn around from the Sacramento River back into San Francisco Bay...

really good

Moog should develop a nature sounds oscillator that streams live nature sounds from a satellite

Nice to see some of the recording of 'Gandharva' (one of my favourite records, even though there's almost no Moog on it) but I would have loved to hear what memories Mr Krause has of that album.

💖

I love the moogs

Thought i saw my old teacher Joel Chadabe in one of those pictures.

😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍

The American Chris Watson .

so they were promoters of bobs product. who was bob selling it to before they came?

This is a nice video but it should be less than 7 minutes long.
