W.N. Kellogg - Sounds of Sea Animals, Vol. 2: Florida (1955)

In 1955, American scientist W.N. Kellogg conducted specialized field audio recordings at the Oceanographic Institute of Florida State University to capture underwater acoustic signals emitted by marine life along the Florida coast. The resulting landmark album of field recordings challenged the historical notion of the ocean as a silent environment, showcasing a diverse spectrum of bioacoustic signals including clicks, whistles, rattles, and thumps. Central to the research was the study of marine mammal echolocation, detailed in the accompanying scientific paper "Porpoise Sound as Sonar Signal." This release stands as a foundational document in bioacoustics, experimental music, and ambient soundscapes, revealing the hidden acoustic environment of the marine world.
