Hydrophonia, the only sound art festival devoted to hydrophone based 
sound art and raising public awareness about the issues of anthropogenic 
ocean noise is currently soliciting proposals for Hydrophonia Festival 5

Although Hydrophonia is open to ideas, here is a list of what we are 
currently interested in receiving proposals for:

• the history of hydrophone recording
∘ hydrophone development during WWI, WWII and Cold War
• beam forming for n00bs
• hydrophone arrays - what multiple hydrophones can achieve for sound 
artists
• getting Internet access to hydrophones already deployed
• all about the Sound Surveillance System -- SOSUS
∘ http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/vents/acoustics.html
• SOFAR channel - uses and abuses
• Building and using a poor man's hydrophone array
• Stereo Hydrophony
• Unexplained signals - ghosts and sea witches?
• Hydrophone recordings of unusual environments
• Ocean noise recycled and reused in sound art
...et cetera...
