The Moray Firth has a rich sea life including dolphins, orcas, mackerel, flatfish, basking sharks and many other enigmatic creatures. Paradoxically, it also hosts a graveyard of unutilised oil rigs. Moray's fishing history oscillates between local pride and systemic depression. ‘The Harvest Reaper’ is an old fishing vessel built in Fraserburgh in 1904 that stood weathering on the side of the quay in Burghead from the 1980s until 2015 but has recently been restored by Peter Wilson and a group on community service. This soundscape manifests itself into a tale of human loss and tragedy while articulating an inseparability between human life and nature.
