CANTICUM MEGAPTERAE II - The Evolution

The whale recording I analysed in the beginning of my bioacoustics research on whale song culture became the core of my first-ever track: Theme 7 from Canticum Megapterae – Song of the Humpback Whale. Through the mastery of some of my favourite sonic wizards Theme 7 evolved into surreal magical remixes. I feel beyond humbled and grateful to these incredible artists for their open hearts, allowing them to get inspired by the baby producer I then was, and, of course, by the amazing humpback whale on vocals! Some kept more of the original track, while others used only small parts of it. Maybe it works the same way with the whales who copy and remix each other’s songs. 

Most people ignore that animal culture is crucial for the survival of numerous species. Whales and dolphins have rich and diverse social and cultural lives. Humpback whale songs are among the most remarkable examples of animal culture. They continually evolve, but at any point in time all males in the same population sing the same version of the song. Sometimes they even replace their song with a completely different one from another population – this is called a song revolution. The degree and pace of this cultural change is unparalleled in the animal kingdom, except in humans. How and why does it happen we can only speculate. Are there specific individuals introducing the new songs and changes to the existing ones, or is it a fully collaborative effort? Perhaps some whales are more creative and innovative, while the others simply copy new hit songs which then spread through the ocean. 

In our own culture, some artists are pioneers of new musical genres, while others follow them; some add variations to known styles and others lead them in new directions. But what are the origins of music itself? 

Whales were here long before humans, and they were singing long before we ‘invented’ language and music. How will whale songs evolve in the future? Is there even a future for them?

Ancient Tree, by Delightful Imperfections
---------------------------------------------------------

Guide me wisely,
Oh ancient tree!
For when I struggle,
It's hard to see.

Boundaries melting,
I sit, I feel.
Breathing deeply,
I start to heal.

Soon worries cease,
As we work through fear.
With hearts wide open,
A path, it clears!

Oh thank you so much,
Wisened tree!
For bringing forth,
The light in me.
