Whale Songfacebook.com The song is constant. We record 24/7. The song never ceases. The whales create this soundscape, we feel, to give solace to the newborn in the hours of darkness. In the dark of night, in the deep ocean, only the stars and the song bring hope for the dawn. The individual pulses when viewed with a spectrogram ascend into the 48kHz range. The human ear is only 'specified' to a maximum 24kHz frequency response. Thus using the spectrogram software we can see but not hear the syncopation in the upper frequencies. The song is clearly audible through the hull of the research vessel. Depending on the proximity of the singer, the song is also audible standing on the deck. The sound pressure level of their song is reduced significantly once it passes into the air. Whales speak to each other constantly. The cadence and syncopation of their normal conversations are much different from that of their songs. They often make sounds above water through their blow holes. Because water is denser than air it is a much better conduit for sound. If a singer is close you can hear him in much the same way standing on the deck as our recordings sound on YouTube. Of course the moment you enter the water, which we don't because it is illegal and unnecessary, the sound is felt at its full sound pressure level, the equivalent of a jack hammer or loud rock concert. We are working on several papers related to whale language. The term language in relation to Humpback Whales is not yet ...

Chant des baleinessonglinesofthewhales.org SONGLINES documents the evolution of the intricate and beautiful East Australian Humpback song. An hour of pristine digital recordings selected from five different years between 1992 and 2008 which draw the listener into a mysterious and majestic world. Established in 1988, The Oceania Project is an independent, non-profit research organization dedicated to the conservation and protection of whales, dolphins and the oceans. Humpback whale songs are transferred from year to year and evolve in a similar fashion to the verbally transmitted tribal lore of Aboriginal cultures from where the term songlines is derived. The East Australian Humpback Whales travel in an unending cycle of migration between their birthplace in the inter-reef lagoon of the Great Barrier Reef and their Antarctic feeding areas. Their world is comprised of vast stretches of ocean where songs emitted by the Humpback Whales can be heard over great distances. Each year the whales sing a new song. Haunting melodies of radiant joy which fill the ocean along the East Coast of Australia. When ecosystems across the planet are collapsing and species are becoming extinct at an accelerating rate, the East Australian Humpback Whales are making a remarkable recovery. They have become Australia's national treasure and a symbol of hope for our imperiled environment. We as the new generation of caretakers of the planet Earth have learnt from the mistakes of our elders and are helping nurture the ...

Migaloo the White Whale Speakssonglinesofthewhales.org We present to you the voice of Migaloo, the White Whale. We thought it appropriate that Migaloo be granted the opportunity to speak before the meeting of the International Whaling Commission. As speakers are allowed only a few minutes to present their case, we extracted only the most poignant statements from our 1998 recording of Migaloo's two hour discourse. 'Migaloo' means 'White Fella'. He was named by Australian Aboriginal Elders. The images are highlights from close extended pod encounters between 1988 and 2008. For images of Migaloo, please view the encounter as narrated by our intern Dave Williams youtu.be ''One of the great thrills of my life was hearing and feeling Migaloo's voice pass through my body as he swam past The Oceania Project's research vessel on October 2, 1998.'' ~Dave Williams The song is clearly audible through the hull of the research vessel. Depending on the proximity of the singer, the song is also audible standing on the deck. The sound pressure level of their song is reduced significantly once it passes into the air. Whales speak to each other constantly. The cadence and syncopation of their normal conversations are much different from that of their songs.

We are working on several papers related to whale language. The term language in relation to Humpback Whales is not yet accepted by the scientific community so we are careful about using it. Although we firmly believe that whales of all species have highly evolved languages. Three researchers in Hawaii, two computer engineers and a marine biologist, have created a computer application to asses the entropy of whale sounds (loss of ...

Chant des baleinessonglinesofthewhales.org These images are from two encounters we had in 2001. The first was an early morning encounter with a mother and calf while we were still at anchor in Platypus Bay on the the west coast of Fraser Island. The second encounter was later that day with a breaching whale named Sky Rider. The mother and calf in this video approached us around 7am while we were at anchor in 3 meters of water. Sky Rider had already been constantly breaching when we approached him. We stopped counting after sixty breaches. He was still breaching when we left him. There are many theories as to why whales breach. Personally, we feel that they breach for the pure joy of it. It is the only way they are able to experience gravity in the same way we do. The song is clearly audible through the hull of the research vessel. Depending on the proximity of the singer, the song is also audible while standing on the deck.
