Incidentally but not Intentionally (harmful to marine animals) by eliza gelinas published on 2019-05-23T02:07:45Z Toothed whales and dolphins have been honing the remarkable sensory ability of echolocation since before human existence. The frequencies emitted reflect off objects to give mammals a 3D view of the ocean, communicate and stun prey. This electronic piece represents a pseudo-natural ocean soundscape attacked by pollution and seismic airgun blasting. In December of 2018 offshore oil drilling companies were granted government clearance to use seismic airgun locators across 200,000 miles of the Atlantic coast. This practice has been proven to disturb and harass the intricate balance of marine life, as well as decimate bodies of microorganisms up to 50 miles within the blast zone. Many different high pitched synth tones shift frequency, resonance, LFO rate and delay time to mimic an ocean teeming with diversity. Later in the piece an explosion of samples, a modeling synth that produces life-like material sounds, and white noise drown out the lead voices and leave the environment baren in its wake.
