Ocean is an immersive soundscape that connects us to the life-giving waters of our planet. Created by Christopher Willits and Ryan Kleeman, this sonic journey incorporates aquaphonic recordings, whale song, and music inspired by the sea. Music composed by Christopher Willits and Willits + Ryuichi Sakamoto weaves through the mysterious underwater world that is so often on the periphery of our environmental awareness. As we listen and feel the sounds of our oceans, we have an opportunity to connect deeper to our vital aquatic ecosystems that are in great need of our protection.
SOUND is a series of themed soundscapes within Envelop, allowing you to be within new worlds of your imagination.
