Artist: Giuliana Pinto The Lonely Whale Shanty invites guests into the belly of a special whale. This shanty is based on a true story: Scientists have recorded whale calls from a single lonely whale in the Pacific Ocean for over two decades now. It sings at 52 hertz—a frequency higher than any other whale song and one that, researchers believe, cannot be heard by its fellow ocean travelers. However, the lonely whale has learned much on its solo voyage. It has secrets and ideas and feelings that most people will never know, until, of course, the arrival of the lonely whale shanty.
