Resumen de Getting Into the Groove
The present article is an excerpt from Nollman`s book The charged border Where whales and humans meet, in which an experience of interspecific musical interaction with orca whales Orcinus orca is described. Orcas were chosen as the subject of the musical experiment because, in contrast to almost all other dolphin species, they vocalize nearly all the time within a frequency range that fits the confines of human hearing.
Although non-scientific in strict terms, the present article offers an insider musician`s perspective on the issue of interspecific human-animal musical interaction, that is of great interest and value for the zoomusicological research and speculation.
