Hi David,
Just delightful to hear these creatures! Loved the animal 'muttering away t=
o itself' in the latter half.
To my ears, the recording sounds processed, like denoised... Am I just unf=

Thanks for posting this,
Andrew

has no vocal chords--these sounds are made by forcing air thru various cha=
mbers in the nostrum! It's a living pipe-organ One-Whale-Band!
