Gorilla is an evocative sound journey deep into the ancient forests of the Rwanda preserve of the elusive Mountain Gorilla. A pre-dawn thunderstorm signals the beginning of environmental artist Bernie Krause's superb sound portrait. The great ape's centuries old rhythm of life: playing, foraging, and fighting mingles with exotic sounds of insects, birds, animals and the songs of nearby tribes. The sounds are then brilliantly woven into a beautiful and synthesized score.
