La mer

In spite of its profoundly destructive potential, the serene beauty of the sea continues to allure. The ebb of each wave – the drawing back that precedes each surge – is a central metaphor. When the wave finally arrives, it culminates in a moment of tension, much like the peak of a musical phrase, releasing energy before preparing for the next surge. Inspired by Claude Debussy's La mer, it incorporates whole-tone scales and augmented triads. Enjoy this lush portrayal of Earth's mightiest force.
