Blue Haze of Deep Time

Jonathan Nangle draws inspiration from his field recordings of the sea, made during walks near his home. These sounds form the foundation of the piece, marking the start of a musical journey. Much like Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, each movement represents a distinct moment in time, inviting the listener to experience the colours, rhythms, and textures of the sea. The titles of the movements—Bláth Bán, Blue Haze of Deep Time, Iridescent Oceans of Gold and White Granite, Inbhear Glas, Marginal Sea and Where Grey Waves Rise and Fall Unseen—reflect Nangle’s personal connection to the locations and emotions evoked by these sounds.
