Shrimps at Kogalla Lake reimagined by Jeff Dungfelder.
"For my track “Saltus” I used a hydrophone field recording of shrimp in Kogalla Lake (Sri Lanka). The recorded sounds (which sound similar to electronically produced micro sounds) actually come from the shrimp when they generate a low pressure cavitation bubble that bursts (tiny jets of water containing bubbles that implode from pressure).
"It reminded me of the voltage of an alternating current and the variations of sound creating a break in the sequence, or “Saltus”. It is this micro-droning oscillating sound captured with the hydrophone (which converts the ultrasonic waves traveling through the water into electrical oscillations) that inspired me to use it as the foundation of “Saltus”. The project started first with importing a variety of samples and loading instruments and effects into Logic Pro X, and then selecting an Oblique Strategies card that said “Do nothing for as long as possible”.
