In the ocean, thousands of noises occur every day, coming together to form a rich and complex soundscape.
Whales sing and click, fish chorus in search of mates, humans add noise through boats and machinery,
and earthquakes, wind, and waves fill the water with a wide spectrum of natural sound.
At Riptide Remix, you can explore this ocean soundscape in detail.
Select different acoustic sources and analyze them however you like.
Adjust their speed, change their amplitude, and layer them to hear how marine life experiences
the underwater world every day.
Try imagining you’re a baleen whale calling for a mate. Does your signal make it to your intended partner as you add additional noises?
Now, try imagining you’re a DJ. How can you mix the sound to make the best beat?
No matter how you interact, we hope Riptide Remix is a space to discover, experiment, and learn about the ocean through sound.
