Ilka de Gast has recorded a special track titled "Talking to Whales." Her deep love and connection to the Pacific Ocean, which stems from living on the coast, brought her to this place where the creatures inhabiting that ocean, specifically the whales, are in complete focus.
Whales are the gentle giants of our waters. Their intelligence
cannot be exaggerated, and their importance to ecosystems exceeds what we
currently understand about them.
Ilka’s beautiful wordless vocals, combined with the sounds of
waves and whales, create a compelling experience for any listener. Her talent
is evident and well-suited for this kind of art, as is her heartfelt expression
of recording a track to bring attention to these beautiful creatures and their
habitat.
Another intrinsic piece of this composition is the native flute provided
by Tommy Graven, along with the lovely layers of synths from Tommy and Hank
Kalleen. This unique collaboration adds a new dimension to the track, making it
a must-listen for any music enthusiast.
The striking cover art, featuring a whale and the light of a
spirit behind it, is significant both spiritually and organically. Hearing this
piece was a truly special treat, and I was honored to be chosen to present it.
The importance of our environment, and all creatures great and small, around
the globe, cannot be overstated.
The cover art, also created by Ilka, has a spiritual and organic
significance that connects us to the essence of the track and the message it
conveys.
Ilka says it all at the end of the track as she whispers, “I Love You.”
