Wild Wet World

Wild Wet World an is an homage to the ocean.

Released: April 26th 2023

I have pieced it together slowly over a period of about ten years. It features the sounds of humpback whales singing, sperm whales clicking, weddell seals courting, coral reefs spluttering, bucktoothed parrot fish crunching, an oyster toad fish grunting, pistol shrimp snapping, long horned sculpins honking, bluewhales lamenting, and haddock drumming, and a rare recording of the voices of the the U.K's last remaining killer whale population who, along with their unique dialect are doomed to extinction as they are no longer fertile due to chemical contaminates in their waters. 

As the music is composed with these voices, if feels only appropriate that some of these creatures should also receive song writing credits. So for this project 50% of the publishing income will be distributed among a variety of ocean conservation organisations a list of which you can find below. I am releasing the song Bathed in Sound is being as part of Brian Eno's Earth Percent "The earth as your co-writer" royalty scheme.
