about

The Marian hymn, "Hail, Star of the Sea" from the Gregorian chant found in the Liber Usualis (Roman Catholic) hymnal.

I arranged and recorded my version of Ave Maris Stella in the spring of 2010. Although it was unintentional, with the track's digitally sampled themes of ocean waves and seagulls, the timing of my work coincided with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. I started recording in March, before the disaster occurred in early April and finished mixing the project around the time the spill was finally contained in July. Originally I had meant for the music to reflect the sea captains' prayers to Mary over the centuries, but I found as my work progressed that the environmental news of each day had quite an effect on my production and that Ave Maris Stella was still a prayer for our times.
