Experience meditation while listening to whale songs underwater
Stream the humpback whale's voice (song) into the pool with an underwater speaker
An unprecedented mystical experience of just listening underwater
what you feel is up to you
Why don't you forget everything and listen to the heartbeat of the earth with your whole body?
Among cetaceans, humpback and blue whales are known to sing.
A theme is created by combining several phrases, and several themes are combined to form a song of up to 30 minutes. When they reach the end, they go back to the beginning and sing the same song again for hours.
Only the males during the breeding season sing songs, and it is said that the courtship behavior is similar to competition between males, but the truth is that only whales know.
We also don't yet know where baleen whales make their voices.
All males in the same area sing the same song, but this song is so popular that the same song will not be sung the following year.
In addition, the epidemic seems to be transmitted from the west to the east whale.
The range of whale calls is said to be about 3,000 km, which is slightly longer than the Japanese archipelago.
It's about 6,000km from Tokyo to Hawaii, so if there's one whale in between, it's calculated to reach Hawaii's whales.
Immerse yourself in the magnificent and mysterious world of whales.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
・You can participate in snorkeling or scuba diving. It is OK to swim while listening.
(I think scuba is more immersive)
・It takes about 30 minutes to actually play the audio.
(Because the pool is shared with other groups, we will start after 4:00 when other people are gone.)
・Apart from core time, you can practice skins and scuba freely. It is also possible to monitor fins such as Barracuda.
The sound source uses this CD.
"SONGS OF THE HUMPBACK WHALE"
(Tap to hear only the touch)
Released in 1991, this is an extremely rare historical masterpiece produced by Dr. Roger Payne, a leading figure in research on whale voices and environmental issues throughout his life, who clarified that whales sing songs.
Not just a whale voice, but a real "whale song"
The sound is recorded with an underwater microphone installed at a depth of 1500 feet, without any modification, and the natural and fantastic sound is beautifully recorded, even the echoes at the surface and bottom of the sea.
Just listening to it in a room can make you trip. I think that it will be an invaluable experience.
Please look forward to it.
