"Salt water reverberations and soundscapes are a daily and necessary embodied element of my life by and on the Pacific Ocean in Santa Barbara, Southern California. As a woman from Britain living in SoCal, I connect with the sea caves sounds in Mawgan Porth, Cornwall, England, being soothed and inspired by the rhythms, pitches, textures, and timbres of water drops, accompanied by the constant roar outside the sea caves.
"With Cornish marine sounds I have added my daily ocean soundscapes: slaps of waves on my coastal rowing boat; sea lions barking on bell buoy (slightly muted by the bodies of sea lions bodies) marking the safe harbor entrance; a train on the nearby shore; little Ourn, a homemade 18-foot wooden sailing boat built in 1931 by a 15-year old lad from Eling, Southampton, England, splashing through the waves at 5 knots in the Pacific Ocean near Santa Barbara (and low-tech wind sounds without a wind screen to reminder listeners that sail boats by necessity play with wind power).
"Perhaps these aquatic reverberations can offer some solace and connection with salt water surroundings; and senses of stewardship for protection and conservation of water lives."
