As a professional musician, Bernie Krause led an amazing life. He performed at Carnegie Hall as a member of the legendary Weavers and pioneered the use of synthesizers in pop music and film. He worked with musicians such as Mick Jagger, Frank Zappa, and George Harrison, and he contributed to the soundtrack of "Apocalypse Now" and more than 100 other films. As a recorder of natural sound, however, he has been intimately associated with even more remarkable characters: humpback whales, polar bears, silverback gorillas, and the rich sound environments in which they perform.

In its portrayal of Krause's transition from pop music to the music of the wild, "Into a Wild Sanctuary" opens the door to a new and enlarged way of perceiving the natural world.
