Did you make it?
The tide's rising.
"Did you make it?" Is a poem writen by Sam Mason de Caires
It is contained within this website which is synchronised to the tides of the coast line where Sam lives.
As the tide rises it covers the beaches and also the lines of this poem, as the tide recedes it reveals more, until at low tide it will reveal the entire poem.
The accompanying music is meant to be listened to while visiting the site and reading the poem and is made from local recordings and samples made by Sam and also gifted by friends.

⭐ When The Ocean Sounds David Horvitz David Horvitz made the score ‘When the ocean sounds’ for human voices intended to mimic the sound of the sea.
...Imagine the first life forms, with porous skin or cell walls, through which the sea could freely flow into and out of their small bodies. At a certain moment, however, these life forms evolve. They come out of the sea and develop a different type of skin, one that allows them to keep liquids within their bodies. These liquids are ultimately seawater, and so the creatures – as do we – carry the sea with them, no matter where they go.
