Part of our Sound Photography project - this sound is based entirely on the accompanying photograph, pictured here.

By Luis Pinto. Photograph by Cities and Memory.

"I began composing this piece immediately after I looked at the image, without searching for any information about jellyfish. The picture instantly triggers some kind of movement. When I think about these creatures, they are moving - they are elegant dancers as they drift and glide through the ocean. The composition observes these features. It tries to recreatethis elegant motion, with hovering sounds through the whole piece. I guess the experience of looking at a photograph with a soundtrack is a rich experience, because it entails multiple interpretations."
