Ambition

Scotland’s coastal and marine environments define her borders and much of her culture, but the sea remains for many people an unknown quantity, an unfixed, uncontrolled environment, often to be wary of and not to be engaged with. The Deep Sea Light aims to reconnect audiences with this fundamental and help them appreciate our impact on this unique environment.

We aim to interact with elements of traditional music and song rooted in the subject matter and environment, highlighting the contemporary relevance of songs composed by people with a deep understanding of the marine-coastal world and how to co-exist in harmony with it.
