About This Item
The Percussion Collective, under the artistic guidance of Robert van Sice, presents the album Seaborne, an extraordinary journey across the ocean where music and imagery converge to reveal the sea in all it's wonder. From the soaring aerial vistas of Mauritius to the sunlit waters of Hawai'i, composer Garth Neustadter and video artist Kjell van Sice transform the natural world into a living, breathing presence. The work's three movements - Above, At, and Within - explore the ocean from sky, surface, and depths, blending dynamic percussion, piano, marimbas, vibraphones, and haunting vocalises to evoke the sea's beauty, turbulence, and mystery.This immersive collaboration goes beyond mere portraiture, offering a meditation on humanity's relationship with the ocean. As waves rise, swell, and calm, listeners are invited to witness the fragile coexistence between life and water, and to reflect on the profound power of our planet's greatest resource.
