From Jutland's sandy west coast down to Holland, the Wadden Sea feeds millions of migrating birds and nourishes North Sea fish and seals
The Seascape songs celebrate the Songlines in the sand and sky, and the drama of the dykes and storms.
The MUSIC is newly composed songs on Wadden Sea themes, instrumental music inspired by the Wadden Sea region, composed by Martin Schack, Jacob Pedersen, Rod Sinclair, with lyrics by Rod Sinclair.
Five musicians with widely differing backgrounds - jazz, rock, Scots folk, blues, indie, Danish folk - planted in fertile Wadden Sea silt, immersed in the salty tides, dried in the west wind .... and something new grew out of it.
This music was commissioned by the Wadden Sea Secretariat for the inauguration of the Danish Wadden Sea National Park and first played at the opening ceremony in Ribe in October 2010, attended by HRH Prince Joachim, the Minister for the Environment, mayors and citizens of Ribe and surrounding towns.
