The story so far: if you've found us recently, here's a 60-second history of the 'Ocean Songs' project. From getting four contemporary, jazz and rock musicians together on Cutty Sark to discuss making an album about the ocean environment... To the studio, weaving together a musical seascape with science (here Professor @helen_czerski reads from her wonderful 'Blue Machine: How the Ocean Shapes Our World' - Penguin Books)... To new horizons, choir collaborations and sandy shoes at @firstlightlowestoft and the #nationalmaritimemuseum ... To March 2026, an album release, and bringing it back to the stage. Keep watching 🌊 we have news on its way. #oceansongs #bts #bluemachine #musicandscience

Are you musically curious? On Tuesday 19th May I’m bringing Steve Pretty On the Origin of the Pieces to @wiltonsmusichall , one of the most beautiful venues in London. It’ll be a night of live music, conversation, stories and a few sonic experiments. My guests include @mrjimbobfromcarter from Carter USM, with songs from his recent records, stories from an amazing musical life, and some surprises along the way. We’ll also have Ocean Songs from @soniccollaborations , featuring Lottie P from @goatgirlofficial , alongside @nic.pendlebury , @colinriley_composer and me, exploring music, the sea, shells, electronics and the strange things that happen when you put them all in the same room. Tuesday 19th May, 7pm Wilton’s Music Hall Tickets via Wilton’s — link in bio. #originofthepieces #wiltonsmusichall #StevePretty #JimBob #CarterUSM #GoatGirl #OceanSongs #SonicCollaborations #livemusiclondon #londongigs #whatsonlondon #musicallycurious #musicpodcast #livemusic

One ocean. Ten songs. Out Today. 🎶 #OceanSongs - a genre-bending album from Colin Riley, Nic Pendlebury, Steve Pretty, and Lottie P - was just released by @soniccollaborations , and we are so very excited about this one. 🌅 We first heard these songs in possibly the best way they can be heard: performed on a beach at sunrise, on the summer solstice, at @firstlightlowestoft . It was one of those moments that remind you exactly why art and the ocean belong together. The album weaves pop, classical, and ambient sounds with voices from community choirs, scientist Helen Czerski, and George Monbiot - exploring everything from whale behaviour to ancient mythology to the climate crisis. Take a sonic dive via the link in bio. #OceanSongs #MusicForTheOcean #Soundscapes #ArtAndOcean

It was a joy to perform #oceansongs in Lowestoft at @firstlightlowestoft Festival last summer, and to share a stage with community choir First Light Voices, who also sing on this recording. Catch the reunion this Saturday at @eastpointpavilion with a full performance of 'Ocean Songs' by band and choir - songs for the sea, beside the sea. East Point Pavilion, Lowestoft, doors 7pm - head to the venue's website or to the link in our bio for tickets. #suffolkmusic #lowestoft #eastpointpavilion #musicbythesea
