Visualizing Hydrophone Listening Sessions
I listen to hydrophones (underwater microphones) throughout the Salish Sea (OrcaLab, OrcaSound, etc)
and stitch yarn patterns that represent natural sound (whales, fish, snacking pinnipeds, shifting sands, popping shrimp)
and anthropogenic sound (ship engines & propellers, oil & gas exploration, pile driving, military active sonars, and underwater explosions).
