In is an immersive underwater sound composition. The material for the composition was recorded with hydrophones (underwater microphones) in and off the coast of Miami, FL. The work explores natural settings and artificial environments (i.e. tanks.) The latter is useful in sonically magnifying specific animal vocalizations, for example the grunts and high squeals of manatee. The work was realized with the broad goal of making the inaudible, audible and to improve our relationship with our allusive and diverse sound world. The collage is an accurate, constructive representation of some of south Florida's underwater sound phenomena.
