Enjoy the song of the whales through an ocean-inspired symphony at the Natural History Museum, a set of audiovisual projections and sound will make you dive into the deep sea!
The experience is called Oceanic Symphony and features images by National Geographic filmmaker Andy Mann. Get ready to see large-scale projections of different marine species, such as manta rays.
As for the music, you’ll hear a creation by composer Garth Stevenson, who was inspired by whale song and the seascapes in Baja California Sur. 🐳
In an interview for CNN en Español, Gabriela Gómez, director of the organization FOMARES, said that hydrophones with long-distance sound pickup were used to pinpoint the audio details present in the sea.
Thus, concert pianist Garth Stevenson composed a song inspired, especially, in the whales’ song.
The purpose of this exhibition is to make viewers reflect on the importance, beauty and fragility of the seas. All through the universal language of music.
