I had the synths revved up again this weekend, and here is the result: Sea, a new Ambient composition. If you’re new to Ambient music, it’s an experimental form, usually without too much melodic or rythmic structure. The idea is to become immersed in the soundscape rather than in the form.
This is part of an Ambient project I’m working on that I’m calling “Answering Job,” based on Job 38. In Job 38, God answers Job’s distressed questions, but not in a way we might expect. “Sea” is based on verses 8-11:
“Who shut up the sea behind doors
when it burst forth from the womb,when I made the clouds its garment
and wrapped it in thick darkness,when I fixed limits for it
and set its doors and bars in place,when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther;
here is where your proud waves halt’?
