Organfish - Electric Fish Songs From The Amazon

Underwater recordings of unidentified gymnotiformes (a type of electric fish), plus other kinds of subaquatic fish, insects, crustaceans and moving vegetation. The recordings were made in Mamori, Amazonas, Brazil in November, 2009. Gymnotiformes are mostly nocturnal fish that are capable of producing electric fields for navigation and communication. The name "organfish" is not a scientific term, but one invented by Slavek in reference to the sublime and mysterious organ-like musicality of the sounds of electric fish, plus the term is also in reference to the fish producing electrical fields from a specialized internal organ called an "electric organ".
