Oceanic Musique - Breach Of The Whales by Bruce Klepper | Composer published on 2023-04-14T13:18:57Z Oceanic Musique – Breach of the Whales April 2023 Duration: 3:50 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 fish, marine mammals, birds and crustacean sound libraries used to compose this piece. Breaching is one of the most spectacular things you can see while on a whale watch. Whale watchers and scientists alike have often wondered why whales sometimes engage in this most impressive and acrobatic of all whale behaviors. In this spectacular display of athletic prowess, the whale will dive beneath the surface for a few seconds or minutes only to surface vertically with great speed. Often the animal will twist while in mid-air and then come crashing down with thunderous splash. While all whales have the ability to breach, none do it as often as the Humpback Whale. But why do they breach? Some of the main theories are as follows. Removal of parasites: whales breach to help rid themselves of parasites. Humpback Whales especially, sometimes carry a variety of external (as well as internal) parasites that may cause itching and irritation to their sensitive skin. Aid of digestion: whales may breach to help move food along in their digestive tract, a whale might consume over 1 ton of fish every day! Just of fun: Certainly in the case of young calves breaching could very often just be for fun! Young whales, just like the young of any mammal, do have a keen sense of play which is actually quite important for exercising growing bones and muscles, as well as building body awareness and coordination. Communication: perhaps the most widely accepted theory of whale surface activity, however, is that it is a non-vocal form of communication among each other. For violin, piccolo, bamboo flute, oboe d'Amore, clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon, french horn, tuba harp, whales, dolphins, seagulls, fish, and crustacean recordings, virtual instruments and percussion. Genre Contemporary Classical Comment by David Marconi This one brings back memories... I was on a whale watch tour as a kid, and we were surrounded by breaching humpback whales, all around the boat. Captain said it was a rare tour to see so much activity like we saw. Beautiful work capturing how it must sound from beneath the waves in song. 2023-11-24T05:11:23Z Comment by Il Camaleonte Yes, magnificent marine beasts.
