"Cetacea" is the Latin term for the group of marine mammals which
includes
whales; Fahres examines the relationship between the rhythmic
structures of
the clicking noises of dolphins and the polyrhythms of Senegal, as
played
by Doudou NiDiaye Rose, the master of the sabar drum and his ensemble;
this
composition consists of a recording of the ultrasound tones made by
dolphins in the Duisburg Dolphinarium and subsequently transformed into
audible frequencies; the concert is the tape version in 5.1 surround -
following the concert, there will be a film which documents Cetacea;
