Ever played a tune to a whale?

Play a love song to a whale

Every now and again I find a website that really stands out. I stumbled across  this one today from an Australian business consultancy called Opus. Not a lot to do with Audley I hear you say, as this website is all about how they produced their new TV advert.

In the advert an orchestra plays to communicate to the whales. Whilst the advert is a little far-fetched, there is some science behind it all, and this site allows you to use your keyboard to “play” a song to the whales.

Visit the website and have a go yourself»

If you watch the video interviews about how they made the advert, it contains some fascinating insights into whale communication and some great footage of breaching humpback whales.

This got me thinking about our interactive guide to when and where to go to see whales and dolphins, just in case you feel inspired to sing to them yourself !
