Behind the Music
Solar HeavyI am incredibly passionate about issues concerning climate change and the environment, which made this book and this project something very important to me. Ian captured the full spectrum of topics and many more in The Outlaw Ocean, and I found immediate inspiration the further I dove into each chapter. I had a mental outline and “scene” for each of my ten tracks, and worked to bring them cohesively together through different ambient sounds from Ian’s reporting, ominous piano hooks and various grand orchestral elements. I wanted to capture an “outlaw aesthetic” and convey the mystery of a future for our environment that is yet to be told.
The problems Ian explores in The Outlaw Ocean are growing and it’s something we should all be working to change for future generations. If there ever was a time to stand for something like this in an artistic light, the time for it is now.
