fabulously curious audio treat

http://www.awi.de/en/research/new_te...oa_livestream/

the website says what needs be said:

Quote:
Providing an acoustic live stream of the Antarctic underwater soundscape is a formidable challange.
and they say
Quote:
Please note, this transmission is not meant for entertainment primilary, but for scientific research. It is highly compressed (24kBit Ogg-Vorbis), so sound quality is not perfect. Additionally, sounds may be very faint. The amplifier settings are a compromise between picking up distant animal voices and not overcharging the system by nearby calving icebergs. So please beware of sudden extreamely loud events.
science should always sound this lovely.

advice: play this loud and be patient with it--the longer the stream goes the more curious it becomes and the more tricks it plays with your head. particularly when you make yourself remember what the source is.

i've been listening for about a half hour so far.

damn...

for some people, the hallucinogenic is not entertaining, but is a matter of scientific research.

This is pretty badass. I've only had it playing for about 10 minutes now and it's got me infinitely curious as to what the repeating patterns are coming from. The big BOOMS of the ice are very creepy, they sound almost like thunder sometimes. There's lots of other neat things on the site too, well worth digging around on it. Great find.
