This audio paper examines sonic artists approaching hydrophones and geophones to advance artworks that enhance creativity and encourage awareness towards biodiversity. These devices present sounds that emerge unfamiliar and unrelatable to our airborne-fixed listening, suggesting unexplored sensibilities and other ways of approaching sound. This research navigates theories in the philosophy of biodiversity by Michael Marder and Luce Irigaray to support the analysis of artworks by Jana Winderen and Jacob Kirkegaard, and to advance autoethnographic research on the investigation of underground and fluvial environments in Northern England. This paper maps the correlation between creativity and biodiversity encouragement in these sonic art pieces.
