Pink Dolphins

admin | July 10, 2008
Pink Dolphins. They’re for real and they’re pink. They live in the rainforests of the Amazon and Orinoco basins. They’re the oldest form of toothed whale. They’re enchanted. We made a musical CD with them with the help of several animal communicators.

We had wanted to do an album about dolphins for several years. I first learned about the pink freshwater dolphins of the rain forest when I was doing an interview on NPR. I told my partner Dana about them. We decided they were the next animal we were going attempt to involve in the musical creative process.

Music For Dogs Music from the Pink Dolphins

The Laurel Canyon Animal Company - creators of Songs To Make Dogs Happy - the first musical CD for dogs approved by dogs has now created-Music From The Pink Dolphins.

Join us on a journey up the Amazon past the Meeting of the Waters, past Manaus, past the Jaguars in the night to the rain forests of Peru to meet the Pink River Dolphins. To the local people they are “Botos”"- shape-shifters, who in the guise of human desire, can claim your soul and take you to the Encante, an enchanted underwater world. Hear the messages they have shared with us through our translators. Learn the legends that will astound you as they did us!

We had used an animal communicator on a previous musical project with dogs that had been successful and we wanted to try the same process with theses dolphins. Who, I admit have a certain mystical attraction.

We contacted Penelope Smith, one of the leading animal communicators in the world specializing in dolphins. We asked Penelope if she could act as a translator between us and the dolphins. It takes a certain type of communicator to successfully deal with the musical aspects of this type of work. She said yes so she contacted the dolphins relayed many of what we called “transmissions”. These were answers to questions we asked in relationship to the dolphins creating music with us. Music From The Pink Dolphins was the end result

We received an amazing amount of instructions through these transmissions and based about one third of the album on this information as translated through Penelope

Another third of the content of the CD was based on an amazing book called “Journey of the Pink Dolphins” by Sy Montgomery. Sy graciously helped us with many aspects of the writing and gave us a great “I‘ve been there” point of view. We loosely used Sy’s book as a guide for parts of the CD. (check Sy out on Interesting Links)

The final third of the CD was influenced by Roxanne Kremer – the founder of I.S.P.T.R (the International Society For The Preservation Of the Tropical Rainforest). It was like meeting Indiana Jones. Roxanne was the person who coached us in the spiritual and physical aspects of the rainforest and the pink dolphins. Roxanne has Dolphin Corners, a non-invasive research facility on the Rio Yarapa river in Peru devoted entirely to the preservation of the pink dolphins and the tropical rain forest and indigenous peoples.

We even had Roxanne lend us instruments she got from the Shaman of the Cat People who live next to her facility. It was a fascinating look into the rain forest and the heart of the whale.

We also used the services of another dolphin communicator, Eros Christos who is based in Hawaii. Eros corroborated all of the main points of Penelope’s translations.

I learned about the geology of the Americas, the Amazon, Cetaceans in general, Pink Dolphins in specific and so many strange and wonderful things that I could post every day for the next month and not repeat anything.

It was one of the most intense musical experiences I ever encountered. I’ll have to post a few more of the stories connected with this project

Until the next post
