Album Notes & Community Reviews

Composed by French electroacoustic pioneer Michel Redolfi, this visionary release was originally designed to be experienced entirely underwater. The album masterfully manipulates aquatic field recordings and modular synthesizers to create a vast, immersive, and remarkably fluid soundscape. It stands as a conceptually groundbreaking triumph of early 1980s acousmatic spatial exploration.
