Recordings with a contact-mic based hydrophone, February 2015 at the Puddefjord-side of Damsgårdsveien 79 and an account by a fjord-bottom-listener.
I met Gunnar under the Puddefjord bridge, listening to the fjord-bottom through a tin-can on a line with a weight. I asked why and he said that a diver had told him that the bottom was sealed by cement to push the old industrial contamination earthwards. He had asked around but nobody had heard about it, so he thought acoustics might gossip. I told him I owned a hydrophone, so we met a week later and listened and talked.
Breathtaking work. A category of its own, where words like "beautiful" or "ugly" (and all similar words) are meaningless.
This just ís. Sound. Breathtaking. Overwhelming.

Taylor doesn't miss- and we were surprised to find we didn't own a copy of this wonderful recording! It's on 'endless play', heh.....am/ss editions vaché
