I’ve always been pretty aware of the impact of humans on the world and our oceans, and the need for us to be more cognizant and take better care of the planet — to stop being selfish and help build a better future. Ian’s reporting and this project emphasize this need. And I believe that when individuals from different artistic backgrounds come together to spread a message, the more people will see the need for change. 

Making music with the clear goal of having it accompany other pre-existing works in order to add meaning to a theme was one of my favorite parts of The Outlaw Ocean Music Project. I built off of the sounds and the idea of the video or audio I selected, like the entrancing sound of waves hitting the shore that I used on my first track “Nature.” I wanted the sensations elicited from the music to fit the idea behind the visuals, and for the listener to fully experience the symbioses of the specific theme and music.
