WHALE MUSIC - DAVID ROTHENBERG TASCHENBUCH

The marvelous sonic world of whales  from the perspective of music and science. Whale song is
an astonishing world of sound whose existence no one suspected before the 1960s. Its discovery
has forced us to confront the possibility of alien intelligence—not in outer space but right
here on earth. Thoughtful  richly detailed  and deeply entertaining  Whale Music uses the
enigma of whale sounds to open up whales' underwater world of sonic mystery. In observing and
talking with leading researchers from around the globe as they attempt to decipher undersea
music  Rothenberg tells the story of scientists and musicians confronting an unknown as vast as
the ocean itself. His search culminates in a grand attempt to make interspecies music by
playing his clarinet with whales in their native habitats  from Russia to Canada to Hawaii.
This is a revised edition of Thousand Mile Song  originally published in 2008. The latest
advances in cetacean science and interspecies communication have been incorporated into this
new edition  along with added photographs and color whale scores.
