From the Archives: GOING DEEPER... : 11.06.17

I've been thinking a lot about The Oceanographers as it's been about three years since we've produced any new music. It's been so depressing that I've been questioning, what's the purpose of music? Why should The Oceanographers even exist? and here's what I've come up with...

(GOING DEEPER...) *DEEP BREATH*

In a world of shallow music, I desire to create music that simply goes deeper. Deeper in emotions, deeper in meaning, and deeper in story. I desire to create music that is embedded with wisdom and that has more purpose than anything else out there. As a band, we desire to make people feel hopeful for the future even when we don't have all the answers; a feeling that is necessary to have in this post-modern-information age. We desire to create music that makes people feel like they are not alone. We desire to connect people to their emotions again: joy, anguish, love, hope, fear, all of them in a beautiful catharsis of sound. 

If you're into this. please consider taking the plunge with us...

I have about three more albums worth of material that I've been working on. If you're interested in more music from us, please let me know.

What is The Oceanographers?

The Oceanographers is a musical project with the on going mission to bridge the gap between science and faith. Two worlds that often seem at odds with each other are both so necessary in this time of division. The Oceanographers is a call for people who value science to be open to the miracles, spiritual, and unexplainable, and vise versa, a call for people who value faith to be open to taking care of the environment and listening to the evidence for climate change. As I’ve grown in my faith, I’ve found it disheartening that many Christians don’t find value in taking care of the earth and as I’ve grown in my respect for science, I find it very sad that people of science don’t see the overwhelming testimonies for the miracles God does in our lives. This project is meant to bridge this divide between these two viewpoints.
