about

Inspired by the beauty and structure of humpback whale songs, this album was made through collaboration between a scientist and artists.

Humpback whale song is the most complex vocal display in the animal kingdom and one of the most striking examples of animal culture.
It has a hierarchical structure:
The smallest element of a song is called a unit. Units are organized in a specific sequence to make a phrase. Phrases are repeated to make a theme. Several themes arranged in a specific pattern make up a song.
Only male humpbacks sing, and the songs constantly evolve, but all males in the same population sing the same version of the song at any given time.

How do they learn their songs and how and why these songs evolve?
I hope that my research will shed light on this mystery and help with the conservation of these magnificent creatures!

I invite you to dive into the world of sound through this album, in which each artist’s track represents one theme of a humpback whale song.
Artists donated their time, talent and knowledge into making this compilation so people can hear these amazing sounds and learn about these incredible animals.

Massive thanks to all the artists for their contributions, and to everyone else who supported my dreams!
If you would like to support what I do, any donations towards my future work will be much appreciated!

Let us take care of our planet and everyone sharing it!
