 For years, we have been listening underwater to fish, insects, streams/waves, and more unidentifyable noises using hydrophones. When we were discussing how to make a new kind of soundboard based on new ecological and technological possibilities, one of the things that came to mind were the use of strings and their natural resonances in the light of environmental sensing. Strings that resonate with the chaotic waterstreams might provide interesting sounds and time-based variations. Combined with a low consumption but far reaching transmitter from remote areas to receivers for network distribution may open possibilities for spatial representations as well.   For years, we have been listening underwater to fish, insects, streams/waves, and more unidentifyable noises using hydrophones.

 There are some easy tricks to find out the general speed of the stream, depth and width. Maybe they can be useful, and certainly nice to play with, for instance (but you will find a lot more online): There are some easy tricks to find out the general speed of the stream, depth and width.
