I thoguht that this was a super cool article because it taught me about a new discovery. Look at technology and the way that it has changed over time. It has become more advance, and this study is helping it. I thought that this was very cool to watch in a video and I really enjoyed learning about something that I did not know about. It was both intriguing and interesting. I watched both the videos but enjoyed watching the first one. (Watching the music underwater.) The fact that the music can wash over you, I seriously breath taking and amazing. Who knew that this would happen in technology. Are just one step away from being able to use a laptop or computer underwater...
I think that artists and scientists are similar, even if they don't mean to be sometimes. They can both make exciting new breakthroughs that push the boundaries of our thoughts and open up whole new worlds to our inquisitive youths. Rachel is right, because at the either the end of the year last year, or the beginning of the year this year, you taught us about how sound travels and it travels best in solids, then liquids, then gasses. This article was short and not very descriptive, and all I really got was the gist of it. More description would have been helpful, such as describing just how the artist came up with the idea to try to see if a turntable worked underwater, and how he conducted the experiment. I would like to know more about why the turntable works underwater, and hope to hear more about this, maybe from another source. With science and technology advancing so fast, I wonder why it took us so long to get the momentum that we needed to get going and begin to create what we have in the last decade. My father is constantly telling me about how much technology had moved forward in just the last decade. I would like to do some studies on ancient technology, because one of the most famous pieces of it was the antikythera mechanism, a true wonder of technology, was created long, long ago. I wonder if in the future, we will be able to have whole laboratory underwater, without the need of walls....
This was a great video and article. It would have played anyways because the surface is still touchable and it is only a little bit wet. It also made a cool whirpool affect when it was turning. I think all records should be played like this. It still sounds good, and at a party, you can make a cool display that people will love. Like Rachel said, it plays besy in solids, liquids and than gasses. I do not remember much about this, however and can figure out why. It performs best in solids because of the echoing affect of the solid. Liquid comes in a close second because of the amount of space it has to flow. And gasses are last because of the open space that they have. When I play a song on my phone without the headphones, it lacks bass and other qualities. That's why it is so complicated to create a speker with a good production of sound. Also, you need subwoofers in order to have the music be more clear and have the bass. When I put in headphones, it helps to have the lack of open space between the hadphones and your ear drum. It is a great point that Rachel brought up. Overall, this article and video were great, I wish all the people involved with music could see this.
I thought that this video and article were both really interesting. You can really tell how facinating it is when art and science are combined together. I didn't think that the record would be able to play underwater, but at the same time, the record was played in very shallow water, and was probably why you were able to here it pretty clearly. Like Hudson, I liked the shape that it made when it was spinning in the water. That was very cool. My question is that since the video showed the record being played in very shallow water, and the sound being heard from under the water, if it were played deep underwater, would you still be able to hear it? Overall, I give this article 5 out of 5 stars.
I hope it's okay to question my own submitted article! As much as I profoundly adore and am intrigued by the "art-meets-science" forte of the article, there are somewhat precautions we need to take. First and foremost, how do we know that the record player wasn't waterproofed beforehand and possibly off-screen? I like how Bianca posed the question above. Would the music still sound as gorgeous submerged in, say, water 3 feet deep?
To Juliet, who is questioning the content, for it's lack of actual text - I would say that the article mostly and evidently focuses on the video. It is true that the creator could have given more background information in the video rather than demanding people to put branches in specific places, so I do agree with you on that. Although, it really is concentrating on the visual effect of the process, the wondrous set, and the final result.
Sorry, I didn't get to finish my comment. I think it is very interesting that a record can be played underwater. I am wondering if I could play my ipod underwater. The video was really interesting because I think I actually heard the record louder than it would be naturally, Anyways, I think i would give this article a 10/10
I thought this article was really interesting. I didn’t even know that submerged records couldn’t normally play underwater! However, I didn’t understand what the trees were for. Did they have a specific purpose? This is cool because sound in water can carry really far, so in a big swimming pool, you could probably have a record at one end and at the other, you would still be able to hear it. At the local swimming pool, there are metal railings on the sides. We used to bang on them, and we could hear it from the other end, which is how I know how far water can carry sound. Although I find this article interesting, I’m not sure how it could help us in our daily lives. Well, because sound can apparently go underwater, we could make swimsuits that naturally monitor breathing rates. When the rates get too low, a song can be played to alert other people of the drowning person. I don’t know. It may seem like a stretch, but it could benefit people. Also, I wonder if the sound would also come if the record was deeper in the water. I also had a question, did they set the record up any differently in the water? From what I saw, the record looked like it was set up the same way. I looked it up, but there was no article explaining the process. So, I think that this research is interesting, but I would like a little more information to understand the process and more information that tells me why this is an amazing accomplishment.
This was a good article/video, if not a bit short. It is amazing that the record sounds so good underwater. It's like two different universes in which the music always stays the same. However, I have to question whether or not this was a great test. While I watched the record, it seemed that only the edges were underwater and the middle was not. I wonder how that affects the sound. Maybe the sound issues from the middle. I enjoyed watching the videos, but they focused a lot on the trees and the tumbleweeds. Was it just for the effect? Does it help the sound? I noticed they focused a lot on the water dripping from the trees. Anyway, this was a very interesting article.
I really enjoyed watching this video! Every time an artist comes up with a new idea that brings back something that's not popularly used, it makes me excited. Numerous people have creative minds that make amazing inventions, but are do they always have a purpose? I loved the fact that the music sounds just as good underwater as not, but what purpose does it serve and how can it help humans in any way? In the end, I still loved the beauty of this man's creation.

Goodness, I remember Miss Ghazarian saying someting about sound coming out better through solids, liquids, and then gas.
