Humans were not aware of their evocative music until the 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing hydrophones placed on the seafloor, our collaborators captured a continuous 14-hour performance of a humpback as it passed through the Southern California Bight, offshore island province. When the whales come together, they converse in aggregate, as in a chamber music performance. in fact, the ocean is their concert hall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe song in this recording was captured at a site 1,300 meters deep, where it takes about two seconds for the sound to travel to the seafloor and make a round trip over this distance. That determines the length of the echo, which seems to set the pacing and tempo of the whale's singing, as the ocean becomes its karaoke box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe humpback is dialoging with the ocean, and this composition is, in turn, my dialogue with them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schott","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44486318915663,"sku":"ED30533","price":25.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/c416ab208d04bbe86dc6dd2a28598405.png?v=1771267188","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/products\/liang-oceanic-migrants-psny","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
