Bernie Krause teamed with Paul Beaver to form the popular and innovative team of Beaver & Krause and recorded a number of early electronic albums in the 1960s and 70s. They also worked on hundreds of movies using synthesizers such as the APR 2600 and the Module Moog, for which they were the official west coast distributor in the early days of the company. Bernie was also an early pioneer in recording the sounds of nature, which lead to the forming of the organization Wild Sanctuary (named after an album he completed with Paul Beaver).
