For instance, music that is created by the brain waves of the composer can also be called biomusic as can music created by the human body without the use of tools or instruments that are not part of the body (singing or vocalizing is usually excluded from this definition).
The first recorded observations on the distribution and habits of marine life were made by Aristotle (384–322 BC). [3] Observations made in the earliest studies of marine biology provided an impetus for the age of discovery and exploration that followed. During this time, a vast amount of knowledge was gained about life that exists in the oceans.
Aristotle's biology is the theory of biology, grounded in systematic observation and collection of data, mainly zoological, embodied in Aristotle's books on the science. Many of his observations were made during his stay on the island of Lesbos, including especially his descriptions of the marine biology of the Pyrrha lagoon, now the Gulf of ...
Marine biology studies species that live in marine habitats. Most of the Earth's surface is covered by ocean, which is the home to marine life. Oceans average nearly four kilometers in-depth and are fringed with coastlines that run for about 360,000 kilometres. [4] [5] Marine biology can be contrasted with biological oceanography.
The music was composed in collaboration between Pink Floyd member Roger Waters and Ron Geesin, who worked together on Atom Heart Mother [3] the same year, and employs biomusic, including, on the first track, sounds made by the human body (slaps, breathing, laughing, whispering, flatulence, etc.), [3] in addition to more traditional guitar, piano and stringed instruments.
Philip Henry Gosse FRS (/ ɡ ɒ s /; 6 April 1810 – 23 August 1888), known to his friends as Henry, [1] was an English naturalist and populariser of natural science, an early improver of the seawater aquarium, and a painstaking innovator in the study of marine biology. Gosse created and stocked the world's first public marine aquarium at ...
When marine biologist Madison McKay was exploring the tide pools in Monterey, California, she was hoping to explore the vast array of marine life to be found in these fascinating tiny ecosystems.
The word "song" is used to describe the pattern of regular and predictable sounds made by some species of whales, notably the humpback whale. This is included with or in comparison with music, and male humpback whales have been described as "inveterate composers" of songs that are "'strikingly similar' to human musical traditions". [3]
