Christmas music from the sound of fish and shrimp

Scientists in the UK have recorded for the first time the sounds of fishes and transformed them into music at the Abbey Road Studios studio.

Interesting and rare communication sounds of fishes were first discovered in England. Professor Steve Simpson, a marine biologist and expert in biochemistry, was the one who recorded these sounds.

The professor working at Exeter University used special underwater recording devices to capture the sound of fish in the London Aquarium.

Steve Simpson, along with aquarium staff, recorded audio from clownfish, puffer fish and seahorse while they were eating, communicating and communicating with each other in the tank.

With the help of sound engineers at the famous Abbey Road Studios, Professor Simpson transformed the sounds of the fish into a Christmas song.

"Sound plays an important role in ocean health and we are curious how fish in the London Aquarium use language to communicate with each other. Also we want to find one." fish have a voice like Mariah Carey at Christmas time, " said James Wright, display manager at the London Aquarium.

"Thanks to Professor Simpson and Abbey Road Studios, we can now listen to fish sounds for the first time and convey to visitors how important sound is to the ocean."

Professor Simpson used a specially designed hydrophone receiver that can detect underwater sound waves. He and the aquarium staff recorded the squeals and whistles of 300 clownfish as a way to assert their personal dominance in the herd.

Simpson even recorded two crayfish crawling over the food before one surrendered and handed the piece back to the opponent, making a noise like a trumpet.

Professor Simpson said there are many reasons fish make sounds, including territorial defense, warning enemies and flirting with mates.

"What we discovered is really fascinating and highlights the way fish are using sound to communicate with each other in the same aquarium environment as in the natural habitat," he added.

To produce Christmas music from the sound of fish communication, Andrew Walker, sound engineer at Abbey Road, used a specialized computer system. The system is named CEDAR and has the function of removing background noise from pumps and water filters in aquariums. Thereby, the voice of the fish will become clearer and more powerful internal.

"I never imagined after 30 years of making music at the world famous Abbey Road Studios, I would produce a piece of Jingle Bells from the sound of fishes in the water tank," Andrew Walker said.
