UNDERWATER SOUNDS
(or how I learned to love the hydrophone)
The
many-voiced song of the river echoed softly. Siddhartha looked
into the river and saw many pictures in the flowing water. The river's
voice was sorrowful. It sang with yearning and sadness, flowing towards
its goal ... Siddhartha was now listening intently...to this song of a
thousand voices ... then the great song of a thousand voices consisted of
one word: Om -- Perfection ... From that hour Siddhartha ceased to fight
against his destiny
- Hermann Hesse,
Siddhartha

Special thanks to my husband, Homer, for buying a hydrophone for me for my birthday in April, 2009. We went on a family vacation that month and were able to record lots of great sounds in the salt-water lagoon on Edisto Island, South Carolina. Thanks also to Robb Nichols for his assistance in purchasing the hydrophone. Visit his site and check out his great products at Aquarian Audio.
