Some coolness from the newly updated David Brin.com (I hadn't seen it
posted here, so I thought I'd do so.)
MUSIC! Matucana, a electronic music group led by German composer Helmuth
Schomberg, based half an hour of highly evocative music in their album
To Beat The Feeling on the dolphin rhythms, melodics and story lines
that Schomberg found in Startide Rising.
In contrast, a Canadian rock n' roll band, Treebeard, produced a
more hard-biting song with lyrics based on the lament of the wounded
dolphin captain, Creideiki.
And inspired by a urrish ballad she found in Brightness Reef,
Baltimore composer Katherine Gilliam created yet another work in a
completely different musical form -- a haunting a capella choral work
called "Starships."
