Ocean Voices by Halsey Burgund with Wallace J. Nichols: “I am using the website to not only collect voices of people from around the world talking about their experiences with the ocean, but also to create dynamic audio collages combining these voices with instrumental music. But I need many many more voices from all sorts of people from all around the planet, so please check it out, speak your mind, and share it with your friends!

The second part of Ocean Voices will be a performance taking place at the California Academy of Sciences in June, 2010 to celebrate World Ocean Month as well as the 100th anniversary of Jacques Cousteau’s birth. Several of Jacques’ grandchildren will be in attendance and we’re hoping that this combination of conservation and art/music will help open people’s eyes to the importance of the oceans to the overall health of life on this planet.”
