NBWaves
NBWaves, created with support from the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park, is a six song EP that bakes the sonic DNA of New Bedford into the music using samples recorded around the city.
These sounds were recorded on MacArthur Drive on New Bedford’s working waterfront and on a Whaling City Expeditions tour boat in New Bedford Harbor; and at Buttonwood Park Zoo, Moby Dick Brewing, the New Bedford Whaling Museum, and PLAY Arcade.
The sounds were heavily processed and transformed into synths and rhythm elements in the process of writing and recording the songs.
The material on the EP is as diverse as the places where the original sounds were recorded, moving from dream pop (“Polaroid Dreams”) to punk protest (“No Country”) to ambient (“The Gull Catcher”).
