Sea Mammals Archival Recording

When performing, you enter into a dialogue with other ensemble members using the language of whales, walruses, and other sea mammals. On this page, you can listen to the excerpts from the archival recordings that you can use to build your vocabulary.

The recordings belong to the Watkins Marine Mammal Sound Database at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The name of each recording corresponds to its name in the database.
