The Belly Of The Whale CD consists of 16 selections by composers from 10 countries, all created from the underwater calls of orcas, dolphins, beluga whales, sperm whales, humpback whales, seals, lobsters, and shrimp. The co-producers, Interspecies.com and Greenmuseum.org, compiled a sample cd of 350 animal calls and sent it out to many of their favorite electronic artists including Scanner, Merzbow, and Rothenberg. What's most compelling about this project is the thoughtful way that the artists have listened and responded — individually and as a community — to the sounds of the marine environment.
