Get to know your ships!

This project has grown into a collaboration between the Seattle-based composer Peter C. Murray and myself: “Ocean Songs” (which is a tentative title, an homage to the album by The Dirty Three) is one part text and one part music. And posted here is the original music meant to accompany, or occupy, the text. Our suggestion, our hope: that you push play and return to the text of this piece so that you hear the music as you read the story.
