According toDr . David Rothenbergprofessor of Philosophy and Music at the New Jersey Institute of Technology , in the US , there is a definite possibleness that they do . The professor , who is himself a clarinetist , embarked on a preliminary investigating in January - February 2007 , when he played a hot fishgig to a group of hunchback giant off the coast of Maui , Hawai’i . The music was relayed to the humpback ( which are famed for their ‘ singing ’ abilities ) via a waterproofed aquatic speaker unit system , and the resulting ‘ duets ’ were tape via hydrophones for subsequent spectrographic analysis :
“ A well-grounded spectrogram suggests that the whale may have falsify his song in response to the clarinet . ”
… says the professor . And the resulting paper ‘ Whale Music : bod of an Interspecies Duet’was publishedin Leonardo Music Journal ( MIT ) , December 2008 , Vol . 18 , Pages 47 - 53 .
