Recording Object #2 - From Air To Water

Lately, I’ve been captivated by the way sound transforms when crossing the boundary from air into water 💦

Using large resonant metal plates and platters, I’ve been recording how their tones evolve as I slowly submerge them. The moment they hit the water, everything shifts, pitches bend downward, harmonics blur, and the metallic resonance turns into something deep, warped, and surreal 👽

It’s not just the underwater sound that fascinates me, it’s the transformation itself. That exact threshold where physics takes over and reshapes vibration into a whole new sonic reality.

These experiments feel like sculpting with sound in real time. It’s alien, haunting, and strangely beautiful!
