Example From The Regular Clan - 6R Or 6Regular Coda

Founded in 2005, The Dominica Sperm Whale Project is an innovative and integrative long-term behavioural study of sperm whales in the Eastern Caribbean. Dr. Shane Gero, and his colleagues, have been documenting the social and vocal behavior of over 20 sperm whale units . Though thousands of hours of observation,  we have come to know the whales as different individuals, as brothers and sisters, as mothers and babysitters, and as a community of families, each with their own way of doing things, living together in the Caribbean Sea. The whales have taught us the minutia of living in a sperm whale family and given us insights into sperm whale social lives, diet, movement habits, genetics, vocal communication, and culture. There is no sperm whale population in the world that has been this well characterized. Over the last ten years, the project has risen to international excellence and integrates collaborators from five top-ranking academic institutions.

the Shape of the Sound

Artist Mark Fischer explores subtlety and nuance in sound, primarily with those of whales and dolphins, occasionally birds and other natural sources. Recordings are made using the highest quality equipment available, and images made from these sounds using the AGUASONIC® process.
