This first mix, by Wesley Herron and Matt Correia, serves as an introduction to the sea project. “We grew up in a city where all music had its right place. We had the rolling canyons that met the sea where cosmic country and folk music played a huge role. You could drive up and down sunset strip and be listening to punk and rock music or sitting in traffic on the 405 and enjoy the unconventional stop and go of jazz music. In contrast you could be out in the expansive desert of joshua tree and at night be in a warehouse downtown making sense of house music.

“When we made a Sea Sea mix we knew we didn’t want to tell a story with the music but rather create an atmosphere and paint a picture by evoking emotion. We didn’t want lyrics in any of these songs to distract the listener so everything is instrumental…it has valleys and high points and some mid range tempo; nothing too dance or pop. With Sea Sea we wanted to feel that desert guitar and blend it with the percussion of the ocean. A mix of desert and sea. Not a full beach freak sound but that feeling of being at the ocean for a few days and having sat with it. Trying to capture that moment in a western film when the half dead cowboy travels thru the desert and gets first site of the ocean, falls of the horse lands in the sand and crawls to the water.” – Wesley Herron & Matt Correia
