The Great Animal Orchestra by Bernie Krause
This exhibition was set like a cinema showing a visual representation of the recorded audio of different environments. The images show the labels of which animals are in a certain range of frequencies. For example, the higher frequencies would be where the birds are as they vocalise high pitch sound. While the lower frequencies would mostly show the environments ambience like the waves crashing as well as certain animals with lower pitch like a jaguars roar.
It was a 7 part series of sounds. The most tragic clips were the ‘Before and After’ sounds and how the initial recordings had evidence of an abundance of life but over the years there’s a drastic change. There is less animals heard and it just sounds empty compared to the initial recordings. This is due to climate change, deforestation and poachers. Showing a dramatic decline of each habitats.
The experience has proven how the human race continue to advance with the cost of damaging not only the habitats of all animals but also the planet.
