My Glass Octopus (4K) - Video by Schmidt Ocean Institute, soundtrack by Tatiana A. Gordeeva

Recently I watched with amazement the latest video by the Schmidt Ocean Institute @schmidtocean where they showed deep ocean images captured by SuBastian, their own ROV, launched from their research vessel Falkor, during a 34-day expedition off the remote Phoenix Islands, an archipelago located more than 3,200 miles (5,100 kilometers) northeast of Sydney, Australia. Among the amazing creatures shown was a very elusive "glass octopus" (Vitreledonella richardi), a completely transparent octopus floating in an ethereal fashion, that was the inspiration for this soundtrack I made using mostly a new synth appropriately called ABYSS by Dawesome. In the video you will have the pleasure of seeing many other amazing creatures, most rarely seen by humans, all moving ethereally in their pelagic natural habitat. My music tries to capture the magic of this permanently dark abyssal world. Credits: Video: Schmidt Ocean Institute @schmidtocean (https://schmidtocean.org/) Music: Tatiana A. Gordeeva (https://TatianaGordeeva.com) More info: Like other "glass" creatures, such as glass frogs and certain comb jellies, glass octopuses are almost completely transparent, with only their cylindrical eyes, optic nerve and digestive tract appearing opaque. These octopuses mostly live in the aphotic zone, the deeper waters where sunlight doesn’t reach, at around 3,000 feet (1,000 meters). They can grow to about 18 in (45 cm) long and are estimated to live about 2-5 years. As glass octopuses live in deep, hard-to-reach places, there is much we don’t know about this translucent and luminescent cephalopod. At such depths the pressure is about 100 atmospheres (1 atmosphere is like us, here!) so this animal experiences about 1500 lbs per sq. in. (105 kg per sq. cm) of pressure on its fragile "glassy" body. Better bend than break, as they say. :) SOI's ROV "SuBastian" is outfitted with a suite of sensors and scientific equipment to support scientific data and sample collection, as well as interactive research, experimentation, and technology development. It can dive down to 4500 meters! More info: https://schmidtocean.org/technology/r... Like our World?
