Social structure

"I tried to use slight manipulation on the sample. On the one hand, these manipulations symbolize our influence on the climate of the planet, Original sound is manipulated artificially with resonators, no any other instrument was used. on the other hand, with these manipulations, I wanted to create a  cold and harsh atmosphere that is under the Arctic ice, where ringed seals are living and building their social structures."
