Douglas Quin - Weddell Seals (Underwater)

[@eddiehimself]

Weddell seals on land: screaming old men Weddell seals underwater: dialup modem/alien spaceship sounds

below ice : psychedelic synthesizer from the 1970s above ice: fibsh l'eggg murpbh

[@fleetwoodvo8673]

I've heard them make both noises above water! How diverse!

[@aruce9]

This is some sick techno track

[@LHJ714]

So when they on the shore. "I'EGG!!"

[@Doweedovich]

Awesome

[@efendim1648]

I wonder can we communicate with them using synthesizers?

[@lolafonsi5144]

that's an idea worthy of exploring. how cool would that be. some of this sounds like the intro to doctor who. the one with tom baker, where can I get more of this

[@SALEENS7GTR5]

I think not. Although these sounds are like FM synthesis and resonance filtering with LFO modulation, I think the frequencies these seals produce are too natural and probably "dirty" (like inharmonics, transients, and even sub or super frequencies we can not hear nor can analyzers detect) relative to what a synth would create. Plus there would be so much that would have to go into detecting patterns in the sounds to understand how to build a sound and track that the seals could comprehend. It would be a break through in understanding biology if it were possible.

For human-tech-animal communication, check this out -> David Dunn - Mimus Polyglottos :)

[@AstroMan85]

It could be possible with the right kind of set up. But until we are able to understand what they are saying I think we should not attempt it. One question that comes up in my mind is this: is it even possible to translate human language into seal language? They may have completely different concepts and perceptions of the world, so our words may very well be useless to them.

[@nateratchet9091]

Yes

[@ChefVegan]

Amazing! I wonder if they replicate these sounds from their environment? (birds singing and ice cracking)

[@SensingVitality]

Coolest soundtrack!

[@SauceChef]

Listen to this while you're high. Enjoy your wildest high

[@belyandos]

Mind blowing every time sober or high. I put this on at a trippy party and made a group of 10 adults, me including, laugh uncontrollably of joy for the whole video, it was beautiful.
