Document Summary
We heard the point of view of a fetus in the womb. There may have been a male speaker in the background; maybe the father. We could hear some beating in the background (maybe a heartbeat) Another recording was one of a piano playing, becoming more and more muffled. In another recording, we could hear a conversation between one high- pitched voice and one low-pitched voice. It sounds like the woman in the conversation (mother?) may have been singing. The woman"s voice is usually louder, further suggests that the woman is the mother because naturally the mother of the fetus would be closer to the latter at all times. Sometimes we could hear the utterances slowing down. The fetus can hear individuals and the difference between the genders seems clear. Muffled sound because the sound is travelling through the amniotic fluid. Part 1: the microphone was placed outside of the mother sheep.
