Bio
David Rothenberg, composer, performer and author, has written a series of books on music, nature, and the possibilities of interspecies communication through the arts. He is Professor of Philosophy at the New Jersey Institute of Technology.
“David Rothenberg is like the Greil Marcus of nature. No one writes about the sounds of the wild so smartly, so evocatively, so beautifully. Bug Music is tremendous.”–Tom Bissell, author of Chasing the Sea and Magic Hours
