Beyond Memory

Oceanic Musique – Call of the Whales
March 2023
Duration: 3:30
Listen to the Oceanic Musique Playlist https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/sets/oceanic-musique
Special thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia @john-marc-ventimiglia for his highly valued musical input and for creating the humpback whale sound library used to compose this piece.

Back from Maui, with two incredible whale tours and ten wonderful days by the ocean.  It is estimated that as many as 10,000 humpback whales travel from Alaska to visit the Hawaiian Islands to breed and give birth, starting in November and lasting through about May. 

Humpback whales, numbered around 100,000 in the early 1900's. Like other large whales, the humpback whale was a target for the whaling industry. Humans once hunted the species to the brink of extinction for soap, oil and pet food, its population fell to around 5,000 by the 1960s.  Due to the wonderful organizations dedicated to saving the whales, the numbers of whales have partially recovered worldwide, while entanglement in fishing gear, collisions with ships, and pollution continue to affect the species.

In a study published in 2023 scientists found that humpback songs easily spread from one population to another across the Pacific Ocean. It can take just a couple of years for a song to move several thousand miles.

When scientists listen to humpback whales, they sort the vocalizations they hear into two different categories: song and non-song calls.  While all humpback whales can vocalize, scientists believe only males sing, and their songs are most often heard in their breeding grounds. The second category, calls, includes all the non-song vocalizations that humpbacks make. Some call types have been associated with feeding or social behaviors. Unlike songs, calls are relatively short, and don’t have a repetitive structure.

The question of whether whales sometimes sing purely for aesthetic enjoyment, personal satisfaction, or 'for art's sake', is considered by some to be an open question.  With our tendency to anthropomorphize the world around us, whale songs sound haunting and sad awakening a world of human feelings. 

For clarinet, bass clarinet, heckelphone, bamboo flute, harp, tuba, humpback whale and shrimp recordings, virtual instruments and percussion.

Void

106 - Exsulere e tenebris

We welcome Paulette Verlée, Brussels-based composer and pianist, as the newest voice in our Woman Muse series.

Her debut piece with ad21 is a beautifully melancholic piano work that unfolds with calm elegance and emotional depth.
Delicate and cinematic, it creates a soothing atmosphere where sound becomes memory, and silence holds meaning.

Known for her poetic and immersive compositions, Paulette blurs the lines between neoclassical, ambient, and visual storytelling, crafting music that feels like a soundtrack for something unseen but deeply felt.

Variable winds

Shadows fracture into fleeting sparks, where echoes bloom in spaces unaltered by time. Fragments of silence bend against the rust and light, rising like broken lanterns through the mist of memory. In this silent passage, voices fade in the rain, but their essence endures: pure and inexhaustible, a reflection that stretches across infinite horizons.

"The most powerful and magical language is music. The reason for this is that music is the original language. Music is not ornamented poetry, and poetry is not ornamented prose. Poetry is fallen music, and prose is fallen poetry. Prose is not the original language; it is poetry made practical. Even poetry is not the original language; it is music made speakable, it is the words of music separated from their music. In the beginning was music." (Peter Kreeft, Philosophy of Tolkien)
