http://songlinesofthewhales.org This is the song of Migaloo, the White Humpback Whale recorded in 1998. ‘Migaloo’ means ‘White Fella’. He was named by Australian Aboriginal Elders.

The first phase of a long-term study of the East Australian Humpback Whales has been the major work of the Oceania Project. The East Australian Humpback Whales travel in an unending cycle of migration between their birthplace in the inter-reef lagoon of the Great Barrier Reef and their Antarctic feeding areas. Their world is comprised of vast stretches of ocean where songs emitted by the Humpback Whales can be heard over great distances. Each year the whales sing a new song. Haunting melodies of radiant joy which fill the ocean along the East Coast of Australia. When ecosystems across the planet are collapsing and species are becoming extinct at an accelerating rate, the East Australian Humpback Whales are making a remarkable recovery. They have become Australia's national treasure and a symbol of hope for our imperilled environment. We as the new generation of caretakers of the planet Earth have learnt from the mistakes of our elders and are helping nurture the Rebirth of a Species. © The Oceania Project 1988-2013 All Rights Reserved.

http://songlinesofthewhales.org Recorded on the Southern Hemisphere Spring Equinox 2008. We recorded from midnight till dawn. This extract is taken from 3:00 AM till 3:18 AM. We were anchored at Rooney Point, the northern most point of Fraser Island below the Great Barrier Reef, about 20 Nautical Miles off the East Coast of Australia. It was an extremely calm, crystal clear night with Sirius, Orion and the Pleiades rising magnificently over the eastern horizon. This 2008 recording is typical of the night time recordings that we systematically carry out. There are three principal singers in close proximity with several other singers in the distance. Below is a link to a clean solo performance of the 2008 song cycle by a whale we named Gabriel. It will help you to better perceive the exact syntax and precise frequency repetition of the cycle: https://soundcloud.com/iwhales/gabriel The Humpback Whale songs repeat in cycles between approximately ten and thirty minutes. Individual Whales have been documented as singing continuously for up to twenty four hours. The Whales each sing the same cycle, although they each commence the song cycle at different intervals. So a low frequency pulse may be responded to by a high frequency pulse giving them Sonar (Sound Navigation and Ranging) feedback on each other’s position. We base our cycle timing of the whale song on the crescendo to the high frequency pulses. Note the subtle but definite descent in frequency of each of the passages syncopated by low frequency staccato pulses. Viewed with a spectrogram the low frequency pulses can be seen to be very precise chords of frequencies. The song is clearly audible through the hull of the research vessel although the sound pressure level of the song is reduced significantly once it passes into the air. Because water is denser than air it is a much better conduit for sound. If a singer is close you can hear the song while standing on the deck. If you enter the water the song is then felt at its full sound pressure level which is the equivalent of a jet engine or loud rock concert. Doctors Roger and Katy Payne were the first scientists to recognize that the unique sounds made by Humpback Whales were in fact conscious, complex evolving songs. They found that the songs varied markedly from year to year and that “new variations are learned traits which evolve”. Three researchers in Hawaii, two computer engineers and a marine biologist, have created a computer application to assess the entropy of whale sounds and have compared them to a range of human languages. They have concluded that Humpback sounds are equivalent to human languages.

It will help you to better perceive the exact syntax and precise frequency repetition of the cycle: https://soundcloud.com/iwhales/merope All Cetaceans are telempathic although through the vibrational frequency of their song Humpback Whales are also able to induce precise holographic thought forms within the mind of their interlocutor. They rarely communicate verbally but rather psionically or energetically through the transmission of emotions. When a Cetacean wishes to communicate with a Human he or she will often approach the Human in the dream state or theta brainwave state, also referred to as fourth density consciousness. Our hope is that, once the mainstream global scientific establishment recognises the reality of the remote viewing phenomenon, interspecies communication will be assessed using remote viewing criteria: http://farsight.org The Humpback Whale songs repeat in cycles from anywhere between nine and twenty seven minutes.
