recording the cetaceans and analyzing their songs as scientists usually do, if
instead of creating music inspired by the whales songs as some composers have
done, we were trying to interact with them through sounds played into the
ocean? This is what the composer Aline Penitot and the scientist Olivier Adam
are together exploring using a digital interface and their discovery of astonishing
timbre relations between the humpback whales songs and the sound of the
bassoon. Will the ocean remain the world biggest musical stage or are we going
to saturate it with our wastes, physical and acoustic, until we can no longer
hear it whisper?<span></span></span></p>
