The National Park Service is gearing up for next year’s 50th Anniversary of the Wilderness Act. As part of their celebration, the NPS has just released this wonderful short video highlighting Olympic National Park and its compelling and varied soundscapes. Fittingly, this production is built around Gordon Hempton’s sound archive; the park is his backyard, and he’s spent countless hours over the past few decades reveling in its sounds.
This is part of a video series, America’s Wilderness, that’s available on YouTube—subscribe to their channel! And to get a deeper taste of Gordon’s Olympic recordings check him out on iTunes: autumn with elk, cobblestone beach, driftwood log wave resonances, creek from beach to forest.
