"The field recording is multilayered which inspired me a lot, I want people to listen to the beautiful sound of the crabeater seal calls. So, in the beginning it was difficult to create something different or reimagine it. I have not done much but just combined it with a field recording of thunder and rain from my city Kolkata. It's an imagination about the presence of crabeater seals in my city of Kolkata and how they'll respond to each other during rain and thunderstorm in Kolkata. The duration is 3:26 mins. I have used convolution reverb in some places to take the sound to a different zone."
