Whale Song Art: Dolphin Calls Turned Into Kaleidoscopic

These images may look like just pretty patterns, but they are visual representations of songs sung by whales and dolphins

The sounds were recorded by American engineer Mark Fischer and transformed into visuals using a mathematical tool called wavelets
Mark used to work on US Navy sonar and software for defence and aerospace companies but he now records the underwater conversations between whales and dolphins and transforms the waves into art
Mark then uses a branch of maths called wavelets which creates these intricate structures
"To look at a spectrogram you will see a simple, boring blur with a few harmonics," he said....

"With wavelets, however, there was an image that displayed extraordinary structure. Something was going on with this sound, even if we are not quite sure what"
