The Last of the Nightingales

A chance encounter transformed Bernie Krause's life, setting the prolific composer and sound artist on a path to capture the sounds of a vanishing wilderness. The Last of the Nightengales is a haunting black-and-white film that follows Krause's journey, inviting the audience to experience the rich acoustic beauty of the living world through his ears. Director Masha Karpoukhina visited the Missoula Broadcasting Company studios to talk about the film with Aubrey Nilsen.
