This is a recording of the Tay Bridge from three metres below the water. The recording was made off the North shore directly under the bridge and beside the sea wall. The vibration through the solid sandstone shore supports is quite unbelievable, the water cutting out the audible high frequency noise that we are distracted with in everyday situations, leaving the deep rumblings of a disturbed wall.
The Anchorage is a bay off Tanera Mor in the Summer Isles, in North-west Scotland. After swimming in this water for a few consecutive days and being quite annoyed with a strange sound that was disturbing my peace, I found out that the noise was a Sealscarer, a computer generated sound that kept seals away from the fish-farm further up the bay.
