Musicians, Artists
Following the streaming success of their ambient cat-purr project Purrfection 44, which was editorially playlisted on Spotify, Apple Music, and Pandora, Sudama Mark Kennedy and Joss Jaffe return with “Super Pod,” the first single from their forthcoming album Whale Dreaming.
Built around the playful, high-frequency calls of dolphins, “Super Pod” blends authentic marine mammal vocalizations with an intimate global ensemble to create a buoyant soundscape for relaxation, yoga, meditation, and gentle focus. Instruments on the track include ngoni African harp, shakuhachi flute, and Indian tabla, flowing together with spacious ambient textures and ASMR-adjacent details that highlight the dolphins as the lead “singers.”
“After living inside the purrs of my cat Nunu on Purrfection 44, it felt natural to listen even more deeply to the ocean,” says Sudama Mark Kennedy, a musician, poet, and healer whose work centers on sound as a vehicle for joy and peace. “On ‘Super Pod’ the dolphins really guide us; the human instruments are there to follow, support, and celebrate their exuberant songs.”
Billboard Top 10 New Age artist Joss Jaffe, who brings tabla, ngoni, and expansive ambient production to the track, adds, “We wanted ‘Super Pod’ to feel happy and uplifting yet still soothing enough for a massage room, a slow-flow yoga class, or a long exhale after a busy day.”
