Behind the Music
LodosOne of my first exposures to The Outlaw Ocean stories was a slideshow of images, shared to me by Ian, detailing the horrors happening on the seas. I was instantly moved and knew I wanted to get involved.
As a whole, The Outlaw Ocean took me on an adventure. Looking through the images and reading the stories, I instantly began imagining the emotions behind the characters portrayed and based my tracks on the different chapters they were in - including my favorite, ‘Rusty Kingdom.’ Overall, I wanted to maintain a pensive composition across the album.
Oftentimes we are entirely blind or unaware of the issues right in front of us. This kind of reporting allows us to get a closer look at the heart of a matter with sincerity and raw authenticity. Presentation of such heavy topics demands a form that enables people to consume and understand at their own pace. I think the music project only furthers that aim. More than that, the music helps grab the attention of audiences, as music so often tends to do.
