Land Meets Sea
The intertidal zone refers to the area between high and low tides. It is the home of myriad critters that have learned how to survive in an extremely difficult environment. Aside from their main challenge of rotating between being submerged by seawater and exposed to the salty ocean air, they must also look out for the tumbling rocks, the pounding waves, and a blistering sun that can rapidly cause desiccation. Not to mention the evasion of predators coming from all sides: the ocean, the ground, and the air! It’s amazing how such a harsh life can be hidden among such soothing sounds...
This soundscape relies on additional recordings by two fans of this website, Neil Creek (AUS) — who also shot the background picture for this generator — and Mike Paul (US). Together, they recorded both sides of the Pacific Ocean, achieving the widest 'stereoceanic' effect one can get! ;-)
