The intricate phrasing and rhythmic complexity of whale vocalizations provide the form and foundation for the music of Grooved Whale. Inspired by four summers composer Lisa Walker spent doing scientific research on whale calls, this CD features stellar recordings of both feeding calls recorded off Alaska and mating calls recorded off Hawaii. A special recording system allowed Walker to play her violin parts through underwater speakers, echoing the whales' use of underwater landscapes and canyons in their music. In stock.
