Shelltone Whale Project

Communicate with cetaceans and share their message to mankind using music, using sound...

Beneath the surface of the Oceans, whales are singing some amazingly complex and delicate songs, pure expression of their wisdom. It appears that anyone who approached a whale, and had a chance to listen to their songs, had the feeling that those peacefull creatures might have a tremendous knowledge still to be discovered and shared.

The mission of the "Shelltone Whale Project" is to become a link between us and the whales, by learning more from their songs, attempt to communicate with them and trying to understand their message to mankind.

The Shelltone Whale Project

Beneath the surface of the Oceans, whales are singing some amazingly complex and delicate songs, pure

expression of their wisdom. It appears that anyone who approached a whale, and had a chance to listen to their

songs, had the feeling that those peacefull creatures might have a tremendous knowledge still to be discovered and

shared.

On the Tibetans mountains, buddhist monks have been playing shell trumpets for centuries. The "right conch shell"

representing the beautiful, deep, melodious and pervasive sound of the Buddhadharma.

From those establishments, we decided to create a shell that could be appropriate to unite those universes.

After two years of collaboration between acoustic engineers marine biologists and designers, the Shelltone was

born. The Shelltone is an Ocean Sound Device inspired by the conch shell. It allows anyone to play with ocean

sounds, the whale songs.

The mission of the "Shelltone Whale Project" is to become a link between us and the whales, by learning more from

their songs ,attempt to communicate with them and trying to understand their message to mankind.


Free spirit will prevail.
