EXPLORE PAUL WINTER'S WORLD OF LIVING MUSIC: |
Extraordinary vocalists and
inventive melodists, humpback whales sing long, elaborate song cycles ranging over
many octaves, and some songs even include rhythmic endings on some of their
phrases. Humpbacks appear to inherit a set of rules for creating their songs,
within which they impovise. All whales in a herd sing the same song, but
they change it slightly until by the next year a new song emerges.

and other sea mammals have become regular guest artists on his albums. The
whales' artists' royalties are donated to Wildlife Conservation International
and the Whale Conservation Institute.

CALLINGS
A result of three years of research and expeditions by Paul Winter to observe, listen to, and occasionally play his saxophone with sea mammals, CALLINGS was inspired by the imagninary journey of a mythic sea lion pup. This musical celebration of the sea interweaves the voices of:
