About This Collection

Founder Kenny Ausubel coined the term Bioneers in 1990 to describe an emerging culture. Bioneers are social and scientific innovators from all walks of life and disciplines who have peered deep into the heart of living systems to understand how nature operates, and to mimic "nature's operating instructions" to serve human ends without harming the web of life.

The Bioneers Conference is a leading-edge forum presenting breakthrough solutions for people and planet. Check out Bioneers on YouTube.

Bioneers Senior Producer J.P. Harpignies interviews David Rothenberg, an eco-musician, author, philosopher, and poet. Rothenberg shares insights from his remarkable, multi-faceted life and unique career.

A professor of philosophy and music at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Rothenberg specializes in animal sounds as music. This composer and jazz musician explores other species by making music with them, earning him the title "interspecies musician."

His 2011 book, *Survival of the Beautiful: Art, Science and Evolution*, examines beauty's intrinsic role in life and evolution. It was praised by *Nature* for covering topics from camouflage to art's profound impact on science.
