Celebrating Interspecies Song
New Jersey Institute of Technology professor David Rothenberg has released a new musical CD that features the songs of whales in the wild interwoven with his own performances on the bass clarinet.
Whale Music (also available at iTunes or ThousandMileSong) features the sounds of beluga, killer and humpback whales, as well as a newly recorded Pete Seeger song, “The World’s Last Whale.”
Rothenberg, who’s also authored a new book, Thousand Mile Song: Whale Music in a Sea of Sound (Basic Books, May 1, 2008). spent the past year traveling to whale habitats from Russia to Hawaii to record the sounds for his CD.
“I see this recording changing how we listen to the sea, leading us to appreciate beautiful and little-known sounds from the world’s watery depths,” he said.
Rothenberg also wrote a 2005 book-CD combination best-seller, Why Birds Sing (Basic Books).
