After Dark: Biophony

This term, coined by soundscape artist Bernie Krause, is a way of describing the total nonhuman symphony created by all living organisms in a habitat. We'll dig into the science of that biophony, what it reveals about the health of an ecosystem, and how artists and scientists capture and join in on the conversation. Tonight only, you'll be able to hear about some of these projects and studies directly from Bernie Krause as he shares his approach to recording the natural world, what changes he has heard in our planet's ecological systems over his lengthy career, and his experience in developing The Great Animal Orchestra.

After Dark: Biophony is co-organized with the Exploratorium's cultural partner for The Great Animal Orchestra:
