1. The Little Dolphin
for one or more persons
First, listen to the little dolphin (click>MP3
fragment 1)
Answer the little dolphin. Address your fantasy and communicate
with the dolphin that you'd like to adopt. LISTEN AGAIN.
Discuss which voice is the best to be in touch with the dolphin?
Which message would you like to transfer?
Using a microphone and controlling the effect of an amplifier,
equalizer or effects sound machine (SFX), you can narrow, blow
up and morph your voice into a dolphin voice.

Finally, search for friends to communicate in dolphin-like
language.
2.The Whale
In the clear water of the ocean you can't see farther than
50 miles/30 kilometres. The eyes of a whale aren't bigger than
those of a horse.
Fortunately, under water a whale can hear the sounds of other
whales more than hundreds of miles away. Like a bat, the whale
can only "see" by sending sound waves which reflect,
come back from the objects in his environment. This system is
called 'echolocation'.
Listen to the extract of the whale song (click>MP3
fragment 2).
Observe the differences of timbre and pitch with the dolphin
sound.
3. The Dolphin and Whale Sound Synergy
Load and play the sound of the waves
(click>MP3 fragment 3).
One person keeps control of the computer for playing the wave
sample.
Split up in 4 groups, dispersed in the room. Create alone
or with your group a whale- and dolphin-like music of about one
minute. Try it out. Listen if you respond fully to the sounds
of your peers.
Record your dolphin and whale synergy.
Add some reverb to the soundtrack.
