Although I come from a family of many sailors, the ocean still hides so many mysteries to me. I found it exciting to investigate and solve some of them through The Outlaw Ocean Music Project and Ian’s reporting. Having that already established connection to the sea through my relatives also made me even more eager to contribute. 

Composing music based on a book was a first for me and, as such, made it a special experience. Once I came to fully understand the stake of this journalistic mission Ian embarked on, inspiration flowed like water. Given this was new territory for me, I also decided to take the opportunity to experiment with new elements of ambient music that remained true to my folk-hop sound. I tried to emulate spacious atmospheres and use immersive effects that transported listeners to the vast open sea.
