The Last Of The Nightingales tells the story of Bernie Krause, the pioneer of soundscape ecology who spent 50 years recording the natural world, only to watch it disappear. Director Masha Karpoukhina's documentary captures Krause's devastating loss when the 2017 California wildfires destroyed both his home and decades of irreplaceable field recordings.

duotone composer Brad Fischer faced a unique challenge: How do you score a film that's fundamentally about the symphony of natural sound itself? Working alongside sound designer Alex Turanov, Brad crafted a musical approach that supports rather than competes with Krause's extraordinary archive of biophonic recordings. The music becomes a bridge between Krause's scientific work and the film's emotional core, amplifying the story without drowning out the sounds that matter most.

It's the kind of project that reminds us why we love what we do... using music to serve both storytelling and something much bigger than ourselves.
