Whales Alive

Whales Alive is a 1987 album of improvisational duets and sometimes trios between Paul Winter, Paul Halley, and recordings of humpback whales. Winter and Halley also collaborate with Leonard Nimoy, who reads poems and prose from various writers, including D.H. Lawrence and Roger Payne. The audio recordings made of the whales for this recording were used in the Star Trek IV The Voyage Home (Nov. 1986) movie (which Nimoy directed and reprised his character Spock for), featuring the whales nicknamed 'George and Gracie'.

Personnel
gollark: Oh, and they're generally not built using modern manufacturing techniques but instead onsite, so they cost unreasonable amounts.
gollark: They contain *wood*, which comes from *trees* (I mean, seriously?), some of them don't even have in-wall fibre optic/cat6 lines, they're excessively tightly coupled to local resources and not particularly mobile, they don't have convenient service ducts for extra cabling, there's no Prometheus metrics endpoint...
gollark: I mean, current house design is just bad.
gollark: If your coastal area becomes underwater, just shove the house on a house carrier truck and take it elsewhere.
gollark: Anyway, the better solution is of course easily mobile houses.
