about

The night sky and the vast oceans beneath it have captured the collective imagination of mankind for countless centuries. But for a moment, picture these two otherworldly realms colliding in a very literal sense.

Step into a universe where gargantuan whales soar majestically amongst the celestial currents of deep space, their calls echoing silently across the infinite darkness.

Bask in the dazzling beam of a distant towering lighthouse suspended over nothingness, as it guides ships through the perilous cosmic void.

Fix your gaze upon a far flung planet engulfed by churning waters, its restless waves illuminated by the fiery trail of a spacefaring vessel emerging from the glowing depths of an ancient underwater civilisation.

This is just some of the vivid fantastical imagery that inspired "Celestial Waters" — a year-and-a-half-long collaborative album project that sought to capture unique surrealist visions of sea and space. Led by Wellington-based composer/producer and sonic artist Nathan Carter (Alter Natural), this album beautifully intertwines the imaginative, genre-diverse worlds of five distinct composers. They now invite you to join them on a captivating voyage through an endless ocean of eternal starlight.

Special thanks to:
Nathan's family (Jo and Paul) for accomodating our group for meetups, providing extra hands during this project, and giving wonderful audience feedback at our initial listening party.

And our fantastic friends Morgan, Akash, Bennie, Nic, Jacob, Eva, Sayaka, Moss, Devyn, and Brenna, who have, to varying degrees over the past year-and-a-half, given interest and support in the project, provided social company to the composers (it can be a lonely gig sometimes!), or simply put up with the constant Discord group ping shenanigans.
