SAY THE SEA
Imagine you are near the sea.
What does the air feel like?
Are you on the shore, in the water, out at sea?
Create the sound of the sea with only your voice.
Allow your breath to become the waves.
How does the water sound as it meets the shore?
One wave after another.
Try this a few times.
SEND THE SEA
Then record your ocean sounds.
Use your phone as a recording device, with as little background noise as possible.
Send your sound recordings by email to saythesea@gmail.com
Consider including your name, a title, or location.
