About this listen
An ecosystem never truly makes the same sounds twice. All soundscapes are unique, and within them are hidden universes of information that can tell us who is living within the ecosystem, and how well they are thriving. For decades, ecologist Bernie Krause has been been working on taxonomies of ecosystem sounds to better understand how a soundscape recording can help determine the overall health of an ecosystem and its biodiversity. In a time when these ecosystems are starting to fade into silence, the snapshots provided by these soundscape recordings are more precious than ever.
In this episode, Lou speaks with Bernie Krause, as well as ecologists Almo Farina and Raphael Proulx, to figure out what soundscape ecology is all about. How does natural sound get recorded and analyzed? How are sounds described and classified? How are we listening to these recordings? And most intriguingly, what are we leaving out when we listen in a particular way?
