Coronado is a six channel sound installation that is inspired by the sonic experience I had at the Coronado beach in California. Using an ocean drum controlled by autonomous mechanical arms as the source of the soundscape, a feedback loop is created and the sound waves are bounced across the six sound channels, creating a spatial interpretation of the sound scape.

Scientists Warn Gulf Of Mexico Sea Floor, Fractured Beyond Repair - Video confirms it via CNN iReport
A dire report circulating in the Kremlin today that was prepared for Prime Minister Putin by Anatoly Sagalevich of Russia’s Shirshov Institute of Oceanology warns that the Gulf of Mexico sea floor has been fractured “beyond all repair” and our World should begin preparing for an ecological disaster “beyond comprehension” unless “extraordinary measures” are undertaken to stop the massive flow of oil into our Planet’s eleventh largest body of water.
…
According to Sagalevich’s report, the oil leaking into the Gulf of Mexico is not just coming from the 22 inch well bore site being shown on American television, but from at least 18 other sites on the “fractured seafloor” with the largest being nearly 11 kilometers (7 miles) from where the Deepwater Horizon sank and is spewing into these precious waters an estimated 2 million gallons of oil a day.
Interesting to note in this report is Sagalevich stating that he and the other Russian scientists were required by the United States to sign documents forbidding them to report their findings to either the American public or media, and which they had to do in order to legally operate in US territorial waters.
