Piece based on articulated sailor model by Richard Watts.
"The piece has two parts to it. The first is as if the Sailor is speaking to you about his life at sea. I have used quotes from Moby Dick for the samples - it's me reading it but very processed. I was trying to imagine how the Sailor would move so there are a lot of clockwork type sounds. The second part is supposed to be a 'jig'. The clicking sounds are the Sailor dancing :). Hopefully that makes sense."
