Ocean waves are so darn peaceful and meditative with their “shhhhhhhhhSHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhooooooooooooo, shhhhhhhhhSHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhooooooooooooo, shhhhhhhhhSHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhooooooooooooo” OVER and OVER and OVER. White/Waves begins with an instrumental shhhhhhhhhSHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhooooooooooooo vibe in the ensemble juxtaposed with raucous, Nirvana-squelching ruh-buh-ruh-buhs in the piano and warbly Zen-blocking WEEEooooWEooWEEEoooos in the electronics. The B-section material began with shhhhhhhhhSHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhooooooooooooo field recordings from Sunset Beach, NC, but I wanted them to sound more manic and unpredictable so I sculpted the waves into filtered bursts, blips, swells, and sweeps and put them in dialogue with frenzied instrumental waves and orchestrated new versions of the sculpted white noise bursts, blips, etc.

WARNING: this piece in the key of Queen Bey Major (so you might hear some Beyoncé and some B-major chords).
