The sound compositions are a mix between the bioacoustics of marine life (shrimps, fish, sea urchins etc.), the aquatic acoustics and the presence of human generated noise in the world's oceans and seas. The audio compositions of the subaquatic soundscape encourage us to reflect upon the anthropogenic sonic impact on the underwater habitat and marine life, as well as illuminate awareness and underscore the importance of maintaining safe sound environments for animals living in the world's oceans, seas, lakes and rivers The acoustic compositions are composed from filed recordings from the North sea: Aquatocene - 51°21'07.7"N 2°41'56.9"E _North Sea Ostend (BE) Aquatocene – 53°19’37.3″N 5°07’18.5″E _North Sea/ Wadden sea – Vlieland (NL) Aquatocene – 60°24’49.2″N 5°16’54.9″E _North Sea – Bergen (NO) Genre Ambient
