Bernie Krause on Tuning in to Nature’s Soundscapes

Bioacoustician and musician Bernie Krause, author of the new book “The Power of Tranquility in a Very Noisy World,” talks with us about quieting the mind by listening to nature, what he learned after losing his home and studio in a 2017 California wildfire, and his recordings of more than 100 species in their natural habitats for “The Great Animal Orchestra,” an immersive audio-visual exhibition now on view at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts (through May 22, 2022).
