I fell in love with all three sounds to the point where i wasn't sure i wanted to do *anything* to them. But, y'know, i copied & dragged 'em, persevered... I was particularly enamoured of the hydrophone recording, the ripples and pulses and flicks.
My process was piecemeal & patchwork - i make no claims on "complex signatures of intelligence" - i simply made loops of varing length tweaked and layered and faded them; some quite drastically i guess, but on the whole i made some sort of effort to keep the comparatively un-amended sounds high in the mix; for honesty's sake, maybe? Certainly because i was so taken with them... Otherwise lo-resolution MP3 murk is probably one of the defining characteristics of this clag, such as it is.
Shouts to Charles for the sounds & Marc for the opportunity.
&, fwiw, it does loop seamlessly.
