CALL OF THE WILD Vol. 2

In the organizer's words:

CALL OF THE WILD Vol. 2

-english below-

Call of the Wild provides exciting insights into animal language and communication. Communication with the help of sounds is indispensable for us humans in the form of the voice. Everyone knows that animals also use it, for example, to recognize each other when mating or to defend their territory. This is why the stag roars during the rutting season and the frog croaks.

Birds are certainly the masters of the world of sound. Stephan von
Wolffersdorff ( Where the Buffalo roam, Distillery, Leipzig) discovered that some birds, such as some raven species, can even imitate the voices of other animals or humans. Let's listen to a few uncommented sound examples: mixcloud.com/wtbr999/stvwolffersdorff-studio-mix-b-dez24/

However, the repertoire of communication in the animal world also extends beyond sounds, facial expressions and gestures; one such form of communication is the dance of bees to music by Thomas Leitschuh (Electronic Routes, UD3, Leipzig). This also serves to show fellow bees the way to food. Let's take a closer listen:

However, some sounds from the animal world are simply inaudible to us humans. The infrasonic sounds of elephants calling for mates during the mating season or the underwater songs of humpback whales remain hidden from us. These love songs can be heard over hundreds of kilometers by their conspecifics - recently also by Stefan Jung (Call of the Wild, Leipzig) - we can find out how he managed this here: mixcloud.com/callofthewild_leipzig/25-07-14-stefan-jung-cotw-vinyl-mix-at-home/

The QUEPS Visual Art Group published the latest findings on a form of communication between male crayfish that seems very peculiar to us humans: they transport scents to their opponents by urinating on their own faces. In this way, the other party knows whether it is facing a strong or weak opponent who is blocking its path to: www.queps.com

Infrasound noises made by elephants during mating season in search of a partner, or the underwater songs of humpback whales, remain hidden from us. These love songs can be heard by other members of the species from hundreds of kilometers away - and now also by Stefan Jung (Call of the Wild, Leipzig).
