The Bloop: a nickname given to a mysterious and ultra-low-frequency sound recorded in 1997. For 15 years it was thought to have eminated from the throat of a hitherto-undiscovered sea creature, until 2012, when the sound was finally determined to be consistent with glacial movements, and the prospect of a new species dismissed as legend.
 
Nevertheless, this didn't dissuade my two sons from their long-held conviction that the Bloop was indeed real and that, furthermore, if we searched for long enough, we would eventually find a genuine photo capturing the beast swimming in its dark, cold home, thousands of feet beneath the ocean surface.
 
This soundscape, created for them, is the Bloop's gentle 3-hour lullaby: slow, warm, glacial pads; ice creaking; water rolling; gulls skating and skirting high above the water in the still mid-afternoon air. And all the while our Bloop - a gentle, benevolent, and misunderstood creature - falls slowly, gently, and peacefully to sleep on its cold ocean bed. If you listen carefully, you can hear his low, regular breaths bubbling thousands of feet below the biting northern skies...
 
Due to the inevitably large file size, the album is sent as a ZIP file containing a high-quality MP3. Should you require larger, lossless formats, such as FLAC or WAV files in addition to this, please don't hesitate to contact me at any point after your purchase.

(Please note, this glacial soundscape has a lengthy 9-10 minute fade-in, reaching peak volume later at around 30 minutes. Be sure to start the track at a neutral volume setting.)
