BERN1E KRAUSE - WH4LES, W0LVES & EAGLES OF GLAC1ER BAY (1998)

A meditative and somewhat harrowing series of field recordings from a legend in the métier of sound. A short-term member of The Weavers with Pete Seeger, Bernie would become an innovator in electronic music, nature recordings and the emergent field of sound ecology. He would make the influential Nonesuch Guide to Electronic Music educational album in '67, and went on to record Moog and other synths on sessions for The Doors, George Harrison, and Stevie Wonder. He provided sound to Rosemary's Baby and Apocalypse Now, among many others. He went on to make dozens of nature recordings, of which this is one of my dreamy favorites.

    I posted one compilation of environmental recordings, but no tracklist - pure listening:

      For some reason the quacking speak and sounds at around 40-50 min are really working for me.

      I was only able to identify the first part, where the frog starts at 39:23: it's from Yannick Dauby's "Songs of the Frogs of Taiwan, Vol. 1".
