His latest recordings are Cicada Dream Band, Berlin Bülbül, and and two albums with Bernhard Wöstheinrich; 'Adaptations' and 'Cool Spring'.
The album is dedicated to Leonard Nimoy, who read Rothenberg’s book on whale songs and wrote him a letter about it.
This release does not contain any whale sounds whatsoever, though.

Bernhard speaks in his own musical voice; the musical arc of his work often moves from the curiously beautiful to the beautifully curious....more

good work .
