The Sound of Chris Watson

Chris Watson highlights the fascinating interplay between sound, vibration, and the natural world. His field recordings showcase the migratory journey of Atlantic salmon, emphasizing the effectiveness of underwater microphones in capturing these acoustic phenomena. The inquiry into how plants perceive sounds invokes the idea that plants may respond to vibrations similarly to aquatic organisms, suggesting a shared sensitivity to sound in different environments. This perspective underlines the importance of vibrations in communication within ecosystems and challenges our understanding of sound perception beyond conventional boundaries.
