This is a special track as I’ll be taking you underwater to meet some of the amazing creatures that call it home - mostly Whales. The idea to do this particular episode actually started when a friend sent me this amazing project by Mike Ambs, who recorded a rare and beautiful song emanating deep from the Pacific ocean.

About the 52 Hz project - The low-rumbling sound you are listening to, is the voice of a hybrid blue whale, known as The Loneliest Whale. This mysterious creature sings at 52 hertz - roughly 30 Hz higher than any other cetacean - this distinction makes its song unrecognizable to other whales. Its voice, combined with an unusual migration pattern, has left the 52 Hz whale wandering alone in the open ocean since, at least, 1989, when its song was first picked up on Cold War Era sonar equipment.

The story of the whale mad me really sad and I thought of putting some friends around this lonely creature and see how they communicate (if they communicate at all!).
