Ocean Beats with the New Bedford Whaling Museum

A Beat Maker Project

From the New Bedford Whaling Museam –

*Beat Maker– A person who makes or produces instrumental music performed by instruments with no vocals.

Nature’s music is all around us. The William A. Watkins Collection of Marine Mammal Sound Recordings preserves recordings of various marine mammal species, collected over a span of seven decades. Participate in the Ocean Beat project by listening to the sounds below, made by whales and other marine animals. Then use them as inspiration to mix a whole new sound.

Become the Daft Punk of the marine world! This is a fun project for friends and family to virtually collaborate on as well. Submit your new mixes to the Whaling Museum once you’re done. For project details and to get started, visit https://educators.whalingmuseum.org/ocean-beats.html
