PART 1 Notes on Thomas

The playlest Maarten created for the Tara-expedition. All songs were written by the artist. This music floats between fluid soundscapes and sailor songs that could have been sung in Amsterdam at the close of the 17th century.

Not All Love (Tous les Noms)

Wednesday Central

Welcome aboard! Sit back and enjoy the open ocean aboard research schooner TARA! 

Tara By Sound is a meditative audio tour of the research schooner Tara. A ship is very much an orchestra of sounds; the concept of recording every inch of the ship came about when I first visited the boat in Papua New Guinea (2016). Her many sounds, noises and rhythms overwhelmed me. Though at the time I set myself the goal to write a musical soundtrack for the ship - as presented in my earlier work - a second residence during the summer of 2019 gave me the opportunity to materialize this guided audio tour of the boat. It is very much meant communicate the feeling of living aboard Tara rather than to present an exact documentation. The tour is accompanied by music created by Michiel van Sinderen and myself. In the end we can find a poem , which I wrote on board somewhere close to the Gibraltar strait.

Best enjoyed with headphones!
