What are Interspecies Concerts?
Interspecies concerts are joint Human & Cetacean musical compositions & recordings. Part of Cetacean communication is musical and we have determined that the Harrison/Lucy scale is a good descriptor of their sounds. Humpbacks sing in and recognize different keys. Orca pods use musical phrasing unique to their pod etc. This brings us to the Interspecies Concert. Using our SongSwimmer interface we will arrange that the Cetacea can sing for us. We will convert their own sounds to instrumental sounds and broadcast them into the water through underwater speakers. Human musicians will play along with this, and will also be heard by the Cetacea. This will be a joint artistic creation of the Cetacea and Humans, showing their creativity and ability as musicians. Our friend Kendall performed a version of this idea and some 10 humpbacks and 20 dolphins came near the shore and listened. One possible result of this activity is a hit recording.
