I have been collaborating with whales lately. Whales and AI. The results are 
haunting and weird, sometimes the whales sing like opera singers, sometimes 
there seem to be secret messages and meanings embedded in the sounds.

So, how am I collaborating with whales and AI? As an example, it's like this:

I created a composition themed on the idea of SORROW and then asked an 
Artificial Intelligence to explore the song and create a new composition 
using only whale song. This was the result:

Mournful Whales

Then, I created a composition themed on EXTINCTION and asked an Artificial 
Intelligence to explore the song and create a new composition using only 
whale song. This was the result:

Haunted Whales
https://bbmc.bandcamp.com/track/haunted-whales

Finally, I took the composition Haunted Whales, created by the AI, and asked 
the AI to explore its own composition and create a new song using only music 
from my Liz Solo Alien album. This was the result:

Haunted Liz

These experiments are part of my latest project "Metacreation in NEOS VR",
