about

This multi - stranded lament expresses our response to the growing threat posed to humpback whales worldwide by entanglement in fishing gear. It is based on the rhythmic structure and pitches transcribed from the song of a humpback whale recorded in October 2019 off the South Pacific island of Mo’orea, a whale belonging to the Endangered (IUCN Red List) Oceania subpopulation. This population is still recovering only slowly from intense Soviet whaling operations in the early 1960s.

Alex South (clarinet, bass clarinet) is currently pursuing doctoral studies into the relationship between humpback whale song and the temporal properties (rhythm, pulse and metre) of human music. He performs regularly with Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra, Scottish Clarinet Quartet and The One Ensemble.
Katherine Wren (viola) is a full - time member of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, and in 2016 founded Nordic Viola, a flexible ensemble specialising in contemporary and traditional music from the North Atlantic. She has worked with many musicians around the North Atlantic, and memorable performances include an improvised concert in Reykjavik's premier new music venue, Mengi, with East Iceland resident and former GIO member, Charles Ross.
