THE OCEAN'S JOURNEY
Commissioned piece by Tradewind Voyages
TRADEWIND VOYAGES COMMISSION
Co-composed by: James Waymont & Jack Culpin
​
This was a collaborative project between myself and Jack, and commissioned by the CEO of Tradewind Voyages, Stuart McQuaker. The brief was to write a thematic music track to be played upon the departure of the ship to create some excitement for the passengers. Extra usage for the music was requested once it became clear it was a very versatile track and could be used elsewhere, such as on online adverts, promotions, and as phone hold music.
"Tradewind Voyages were were looking to commission a fresh, imaginative and original piece of music to be played over the upper decks of Golden Horizon, the worlds largest traditional sailing ship, each time she departed port. With only a simple brief and a phone-call Jack and James were very quick to understand exactly what we were after. Whilst little direction was needed from us, our feedback was always positively received and we are delighted with the final result. Jack and James showed great flexibility and adaptability and we look forward to working with them on other related projects. We are very proud of ‘the Ocean’s Journey’, the piece they produced for us."
