Description

In today’s episode we celebrate water, those who live within it, and those who fight to protect it for the good of all. From the mysterious conversations of fish and crustaceans to the mechanics of eardrums or microphones with piezoelectric transducers, we listen deeply to the mysterious world that is waiting for us just underneath the surface in rivers, streams and tidal pools alike. With field recordings from all over the world and an art piece or two, this episode dives down below to find that water still holds mysteries for us to preserve and protect for the generations to come, and offers incredible sonic riches to those who have ears to hear. Many thanks once again to Radio Aporee and all the field recording artists who post there.
