Like the Sea at Sunrise - John Oliver (b. 1959)

Like the Sea at Sunrise by John Oliver (b. 1959) captures the gentle, ever-changing movement of the ocean at dawn. I especially love the way the repeating patterns evoke the continuous motion of waves and currents, gradually building and receding as the music unfolds. Sparkling high notes shimmer above these flowing patterns, creating the feeling of sunlight dancing across the water.

Recorded in June 2025.
